N12 News: Netanyahu's claim of major reduction in US arms shipments has merit

Per the report, the number of US arms shipments in the second half of the war so far was significantly lower than in the first half. Full details below.

Israeli and American sources confirmed to N12 News today (Sunday) that the number of American arms shipments to Israel has indeed been cut by half in the past few months.

Per the report, in the first half of the war so far, Israel received 240 arms shipments, whereas it received just 120 in the second half, without reference to the aerial bombs being held up "under review."

N12 provided a number of explanations for this decline, including the increasing formal notification of Congress as opposed to the previous "emergency" shipments without it, as well as the declining intensity of the war and desire for the US to help support it.

According to the Prime Minister's statement earlier today, the United States regularly provided it with everything it needed, something which Israel greatly appreciated, until about four months ago, when deliveries slowed down dramatically.
