This comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the Biden administration of withholding weapons during Israel&#8217;s ongoing conflict. In response, the White House canceled a high-level meeting with Israeli officials. The delay is causing significant political friction, reflecting deeper issues in US-Israel relations. Meanwhile, regional tensions are exacerbated by continued cross-border conflicts and internal political disputes in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>In related developments, rocket sirens were activated near Israel&#8217;s borders with Lebanon and Gaza, signaling continued threats from militant groups in the region. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is expected to address followers in a memorial for a recently assassinated commander, further straining the already volatile situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n        function loadFBjs(delay = 500) {\n            return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {\n                if (window[\"fbjs\"]) {\n                    resolve(\"already load FB\");\n                }\n                let body = document.getElementsByTagName(\"body\")[0]\n                let divFbRoot = document.createElement(\"div\");\n                divFbRoot.id = 'fb-root';<\/p>\n<p>                body.prepend(divFbRoot);\n                setTimeout(function () {\n                    (function (d, s, id) {\n                        var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n                        if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n                        js = d.createElement(s);\n                        js.id = id;\n                        js.async = false;\n                        js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#version=v19.0&xfbml=1&appId=832524428879964&status=true&cookie=true&\";\n                        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n                        js.onload = function () {\n                            window[\"fbjs\"] = true;\n                            resolve(\"ok\");\n                        };\n                    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n                }, delay)\n            });\n        }\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewishbulletin.online\/articles\/tensions-escalate-as-white-house-delays-18-billion-fighter-jet-sale-to-israel\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The White House is delaying the $18 billion sale of 50 F-15 fighter jets to Israel amid heightened tensions between the two nations.
