Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the growing tensions between the US and Israel

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

United States and Israel relations are further unravelling after the latest move by Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli Prime Minister's released a video where he's attempting to remove the block on a US bomb shipment that was introduced last month.

He says during World War II, Churchill told the US "give us the tools and we'll do the job".

He's now telling the US give us the tools and we'll finish the job a lot faster.

The White House has pushed back saying it doesn't know what Netanyahu's talking about.

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that it's denying reports it's since cancelled a meeting with Israeli officials.

He said that the White House says they’re trying to work out the calendar on that, which means they are seeking to paper over differences.
