According to Reuters, the United States’ top general said on Thursday that Israel had not received every weapon that it had asked for, in part because US President Joe Biden’s administration was not willing to provide at least some of them.
“Although we’ve been supporting them with capability, they’ve not received everything they’ve asked for,” said General Charles Q. Brown, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Later on Thursday, a spokesperson for Brown dressed up his comments and said they were in reference to “a standard practice before providing military aid to any of our allies and partners.”
