Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday called on the United States to stop "withholding" weapons and ammunition for Israel so that Israel can "finish the job a lot faster."
The prime minister stressed that Israel is "fighting for its life" and against Iran and other "common enemies." In the video address, Netanyahu shared that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken provided assurances that Washington is working "day and night" to remove "these bottlenecks" during their last meeting. "I certainly hope that is the case," the Israeli prime minister added.
An anonymous Israeli negotiator previously stated that at least tens of hostages remain alive "with certainty" in the Gaza Strip.
