A top Israeli official claims that the US has begun to slow-walk certain military aid to "Israel", an accusation that senior US officials refuted, further adding to speculations of a divide between the two allies. 

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called on Thursday for new Israeli elections, fiercely denouncing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an impediment to peace.

Democrat Chuck Schumer, "Israel's" long-time backer and the highest-ranking Jewish political official, told the Senate that Netanyahu's administration "no longer fits the needs of Israel" as the war rages on in Gaza.

In response, Netanyahu's Likud party stated that "Israel is not a banana republic but an independent and proud democracy" that elected Netanyahu and that the Israeli public fully supports the war cabinet. 

Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Herzog called Schumer's comments "counterproductive" writing on X that such comments are not in line with the US and "Israel's common goals."

The anonymous official told ABC News  that US aid was arriving quickly at the beginning of the war on Gaza, but "we are now finding that it's very slow."

The source remarked that the occupation was well aware of US' growing dissatisfaction with its behavior during the war, including blocking humanitarian aid and massive civilian casualties.

Numerous US officials, including White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby, reported that there was no change in policy or any intentional delay in the $3.8 billion of aid to its ally.

 "We continue to support Israel with their self-defense needs. That's not going to change, and we have been very, very direct about that," Kirby said.

Ammo and legitimacy both running low

The anonymous Israeli officer reported that 155 mm artillery ammunition and 120 mm tank shells are in extremely short supply, something Ukraine has also reported.

Sensitive guiding equipment was also in short supply and worriedly stated that any delays are especially concerning because European countries are now hesitant to provide armaments to "Israel."

The person noted that "Israel might lose this war" since winning requires ammo and legitimacy, both of which are running low, he claimed.

A senior Israeli source told ABC News that rising international pressure on "Israel" over its genocide makes a captive arrangement less probable. However, the official stated that a favorable world impression, in general, has become more vital than ammunition since "Israel" could not become a pariah. 

US President Joe Biden has repeatedly criticized Netanyahu’s handling of the Israeli war against Gaza, The Washington Post reported, highlighting the latest indication revealing Biden's secured leverage against "Israel". 

Some of the latest indications provided by the Post vary from positions on ceasefire to political meetings. 

Support for 'Israel' eroding in US, especially among younger Americans

Since day one of the war on Gaza, the Israeli occupation entity has received the full backing of US President Joe Biden's administration, including financial, military, intelligence, and political support.

This protective umbrella continued despite the war turning into a genocide, with over 31,000 Palestinians killed - over 72% of whom are children and women - and is now approaching its six-month mark.

But according to polls, this did not come without a price, most importantly on how the US public views "Israel", which has taken a downward trajectory over the years, and more so among the younger generations.

In a series of surveys conducted between 2012 and January 2024, a trend of declining and polarized support of "Israel" among Americans with various political affiliations, ages, and ethnicities can be witnessed.

The outcomes underscored the polarizing support for the occupation entity in the US, which, according to the Israeli think tank Institute for National Security Studies INSS, should be a worrisome sign for "Israel" and its relationship with the United States.
