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.
