Although we strongly support Israel, they did not get everything they wanted.
Axar.az reports that this was said by the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles Brown.
The US’s longstanding effort is to ensure Israel's qualitative military edge, a Pentagon spokesman said Thursday.
"When it comes to the provision of security assistance to include weapons and weapon systems, obviously I don't want to get ahead of those conversations. Those are always ongoing conversations," Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters when asked what types of weapons has the US not provided to Israel that it wanted.
"Through programs like foreign military finance, foreign military sales, again, it's part of our efforts, longstanding efforts to ensure Israel's qualitative military edge," he added.
His remarks came after US Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown said Thursday that Israel has not received every weapon that it has asked for.
"Some of that is because they've asked for stuff that we either can't provide or are not willing to provide, not right now," he added.
Ryder said the US has a "very longstanding" security relationship with Israel, and after Oct. 7, the US worked very hard to rush security assistance to Israel in support of their efforts to defend themselves against attacks from Hamas and future terrorist attacks.
"But to get to your specific question, I don't have any information to provide beyond that," he said.
