The dispute arose after\u200b Israeli \u2064Prime Minister Benjamin\u200b Netanyahu \u200baccused the\u2063 U.S. of\u2062 withholding military support to Israel. Netanyahu&#8217;s claim was made in a video where he \u200cexpressed disbelief that \u200dthe U, led \u200cby \u2062the Biden\u200d administration, would withhold weapons and ammunition from Israel, particularly following a candid conversation with Secretary Blinken\u200b about the U.S.&#8217;s sustained support since the start of the war.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these reports, a\u2063 White House official clarified that no meetings had been canceled and\u2064 that efforts were ongoing to schedule a \u2063next Strategic Dialogue Group (SDG) meeting that suited the availability of the involved principals. The official also confirmed\u2064 that throughout the week, discussions with Israeli \u200bofficials were still happening at various levels on a range of\u2062 issues.\u2062 These developments are part of a continuing dialogue amidst tensions and public disputes\u2064 between \u200bthe U.S. and Israel regarding support and \u2064diplomatic engagements.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n
