Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has reportedly told Prime Minister Netanyahu that the current hold on American weapons shipments is set to be removed in the coming days, according to a Channel 12 News report.

Per the report, Prime Minister Netanyahu told Blinken that Israel has all the weapons it needs to carry out needed missions, but that the American hold on weapons, as opposed to its full support at the beginning of the war, provides moral support to Iran and its allies.

Netanyahu has also instructed Defense Minister Gallant, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, and NSC Head Tzachi Hanegbi to make sure the hold is removed when they meet with members of the Biden administration in the US in the next few days.
