In a dramatic turn of events, President Joe Biden has canceled a planned meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This decision came after Netanyahu released a video criticizing the Biden administration's stance on arms transfers and its approach to Iran.
The video, which was posted by Netanyahu, accused the United States of withholding critical arms shipments to Israel.

Netanyahu's public rebuke reportedly irritated the White House, leading to the cancellation of the senior aides' meeting that was set to discuss security and strategic issues.
The tensions between the two leaders have been escalating amid a backdrop of heightened conflict between Israel and Iran.

Recently, Iran launched a significant missile and drone attack on Israel, prompting an emergency response from the United Nations Security Council.
President Biden urged Netanyahu to show restraint and avoid escalating the situation with a retaliatory strike, emphasizing that the U.S. would not support or participate in such an operation.
This strained interaction follows a series of contentious exchanges between the two nations. The Biden administration has been cautious in its support, balancing its commitment to Israel's security with diplomatic efforts to prevent a broader conflict in the Middle East.
Netanyahu, on the other hand, has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with what he perceives as insufficient support from the U.S. regarding Israel's defense needs and strategic autonomy.
The cancellation of the meeting underscores the growing rift between the U.S. and Israel, raising questions about the future of their strategic partnership amidst ongoing regional tensions.
Senile old, fool, dementia, joe, holding back ammo and weapons Israel needs to fight the war, what a pathetic, disgusting, incompetent, evil, pos this fake, phony, president out of touch, with reality. He is a sick man, get him out of here, he is no longer president, but a walking cadaver, to America.
