'Deeply disappointing and certainly vexing to us': US, Israel tensions over Gaza war weapons exposed
This picture taken from Israel's southern border with the Gaza Strip shows Israeli army vehicles driving along the border with the Palestinian territory, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the militant group Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu complained over a lack of US weapons.
"No other country is doing more to help Israel defend itself against the threat by Hamas and, quite frankly, other threats that they're facing in the region," Kirby said. Palestinians check the rubble of buildings that were destroyed following overnight Israeli bombardment in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. But Netanyahu appeared to double down later on Thursday, saying in a statement that he is"prepared to suffer personal attacks provided that Israel receives the ammunition from the US that it needs in the war for its existence".
On Thursday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also warned Israel against escalating tensions in Lebanon as fears of a wider regional war grew with Hezbollah militants firing dozens of rockets into northern Israel.

The Gaza war is a particularly thorny issue for 81-year-old Biden, who is seeking a second term in office this year.
