The United States has started to tighten arms transfers to Israel by blocking a shipment of ‘Hellfire precision missiles’ and reviewing arms requests on an individual basis, reports the International Business Times.
The decision comes as the State Department officials found that the Israeli military had been receiving ammunition from the Pentagon without authorisation from the White House.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama exchanged a "particularly combative phone call on Wednesday", according to the Wall Street Journal.
"There is a claim in the Wall Street Journal that Israel went around the back of the United States to get a resupply of ammunition from the Pentagon, that it didn't get permission from the White House," said a former Israeli ambassador to the US, Michael Oren.
