Speaking at a conference hosted by the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, Israel's chief military spokesperson Daniel Hagari appeared to play down the US hold-up of an arms shipment to Israel amid concerns over Israel's potential invasion of Rafah, saying the two allies resolve disagreements "behind closed doors".
He added that the coordination between Israel and the US is reaching "a scope without precedent, I think, in history".
Axios reporter Barak Ravid said that the shipment paused by the US included "1800 2000lb bombs and 1700 500lb bombs".
