This criticism aligns with claims by\u2063 Israeli Prime Minister \u200bBenjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. had not \u200dfulfilled formal notifications needed \u2062to complete arms \u2063sales despite informal clearance from relevant \u200ccongressional committees. Hagerty and other\u2064 critics \u2062argue this delay hinders Israel&#8217;s ability to confront threats from Hamas and Hezbollah, and \u2062thereby compromises its national \u200csecurity during a\u200c critical period of conflict. Hagerty urges the administration \u2062to expedite the \u2064process and support \u200dIsrael\u2019s military efforts against its adversaries.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tennessee GOP senator Bill Hagerty slammed the Biden administration from withholding arms to Israel that have been approved by Congress, snapping they should \u201cget out of Israel\u2019s way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hagerty responded to a story indicating the White House was angry at Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for stating that the Biden administration has been withholding weapons and ammunition from Israel as the Jewish state is threatened by Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north. Netanyahu released a video in which he stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>When Secretary Blinken was recently here in Israel, we had a candid conversation, I said, \u201cI deeply appreciate the support the U.S. has given Israel from the beginning of the war.\u201d But I also said something else. I said, \u201cIt\u2019s inconceivable that in the past few months the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel. Israel, America\u2019s closest ally, fighting for its life, fighting against Iran and our other common enemies.\u201d Secretary Blinken assured me that the administration was working day and night to remove these bottlenecks. I certainly hope that\u2019s the case; it should be the case. During World War II, Churchill told the United States, \u201cGive us the tools; we\u2019ll do the job.\u201d And I say: Give us the tools and we\u2019ll finish the job.

By signaling to terrorists that American support for Israel is conditional, we encourage Hamas to protract the war in Gaza, furthering risk to civilians, and incentivize Hezbollah to continue its attacks on Israel from the North.
