The Israeli military appeared on Wednesday to play down an arms shipment holdup by a US administration troubled at this week's operation in the southern Gazan city of Rafah, saying the allies resolve any disagreements “behind closed doors”.

Speaking at a conference hosted by the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper as the Gaza war entered its eighth month, chief military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari described co-ordination between Israel and the US as reaching “a scope without precedent, I think, in history”.
