US still withholding weapons from Israel, says US House Speaker

“This Administration put up roadblock after roadblock on Israel and dragged out this conflict,” says senior Republican official.

The Biden administration is continuing to punish Israel by delaying shipments of critical weapons and munitions, in order to appease Iranian aggression, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-TN) said on Tuesday evening after news of a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was announced.

“While the Biden-Harris Administration celebrates this announcement, remember that it is STILL withholding weapons to Israel. This Administration put up roadblock after roadblock on Israel and dragged out this conflict,” wrote Johnson on his X account.

In a televised address to the Israeli public on Tuesday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited “delays” in arms shipments as one of the reasons why Israel had agreed to the ceasefire.

Notably, Netanyahu was vague on the details of the issue, and did not mention the Biden administration as withholding arms.

“They repeatedly appeased Iran rather than show unequivocal support to our closest ally in the region. Israel’s military success has been in spite of the White House, not because of it,” he continued.

“We always hope for peace in the region, and still do during this 60-day ceasefire. But it is President Trump’s Administration that will pave the way to lasting peace, because peace only comes through STRENGTH,” he added.

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), incoming president Donald Trump’s pick for National Security Adviser, said that the ceasefire agreement was directly linked to Trump’s election.

“Everyone is coming to the table because of President Trump,” Waltz wrote on his TX account.

“This is [because] his resounding victory sent a clear message to the rest of the world that chaos won’t be tolerated. I’m glad to see concrete steps towards de-escalation in the Middle East,” Waltz wrote.

“But let’s be clear: The Iran Regime is the root cause of the chaos and terror that has been unleashed across the region. We will not tolerate the status quo of their support for terrorism.”
