White House responds to Netanyahu: We genuinely don’t know what he’s talking about

The White House says it has no idea what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is talking about after the premier claimed earlier today that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had agreed to remove “bottlenecks” after months of delays in US weapons and ammunition shipments to Israel.

“We genuinely do not know what he’s talking about. We just don’t,” White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre says when asked about Netanyahu’s claim during a press conference.

“There was one particular shipment of munitions that was paused, and you’ve heard us talk about that many times. We continue to have constructive conversations with the Israelis for the release of that particular shipment and don’t have any updates on that. There are no other pauses or holds in place… Everything else is moving in due process,” she adds.
