Netanyahu slams the US for a claimed drop in weapons deliveries
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks during a news conference in the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv, Israel, on October 28, 2023

ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet today that there had been a dramatic drop in United States weapons deliveries for Israel’s war on Palestinians in Gaza.

His claim came a day after Israeli forces were reported to have killed at least 39 people in northern Gaza and Israel was rocked by massive anti-government protests.

Mr Netanyahu’s report to his cabinet follows a claim he made last week when he issued a video claiming a US delivery shortfall. This was met with denial and confusion from White House officials.

The colonial mindset behind the governance of the UN is the reason for its inertia when it comes to conflict resolution, argues ROGER McKENZIE – but can China’s Global Governance Initiative point in a new direction of global equality?
