The Defense Ministry said that Netanyahu's speech attacking the US regarding disputes over the pace of weapons transfers took the entire defense establishment by surprise.

The United States is expected to lift its hold on the shipment of ammunition and weapons designated for the IDF, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Office said on Tuesday, just one day after the Israeli leader accused the Biden administration of preventing the delivery of those arms.

“US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew told Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday that the ammunition and weapons that the PM referred to are in the process of being delivered to Israel,” the PMO wrote in an English language post on X.

      Agreed. However, I think being highly motivated by ethnic or religious ideology is a bigger factor on the far-right, whereas money is the primary motivator for the neo-liberal Dems like Biden. There may be a little ideology at play for Biden, but ideology-driven foreign policy seems more likely from a GOP politician. Of course, I think money talks loudest for both camps.

      We need a viable progressive party.

        It’d be great to have a progressive party but in reality all that would do is ensure republikkklowns getting all the seats. Not a single one of them will vote progressive, all it will do is divide the votes going to the democrats.
