Israeli and German authorities have denied reports that Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett would lift all restrictions on the supply of weapons to Israel. This information was initially announced by Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, according to the Times of Israel. During US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Israel, he expressed his condemnation of the violence that the United Nations had reported Israel bringing upon itself since the start of the conflict. He also criticized the government’s rejection of vaccines and medical supplies in recent months. Blinken believes that increasing the supply of American weapons could help bring an end to the conflict faster, a goal shared by US President Joe Biden, particularly ahead of the upcoming congressional elections.
