Against the backdrop of a possible US arms embargo on Israel over the situation in Gaza, Prime Minister Netanyahu and senior military officials are locked in serious conflict. Controversy arose over humanitarian assistance in Gaza when Netanyahu suggested entrusting the task to the IDF, which provoked strong opposition from the generals.
The clash of positions between the military and the prime minister was not resolved at the mid-tete-a-tete meeting and the next discussion is planned for Sunday. News of aid shipments to Gaza confirms that tensions continue to escalate in the region, and America has sent a clear warning to Israel regarding the crisis in Gaza.
Solving the problem in Gaza requires concrete action on the part of Israel, otherwise the US may take measures, including an arms embargo. The message from the American defense ministers and the State Department about the need to comply with agreements and take action on time puts Israel in a difficult position.
