Trump OKs $2.8B bomb deal for Israel
The team managing U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has approved a $2.8 billion arms deal with Israel, which includes 40,000 high-explosive bombs of the "Mk84" and "BLU-117" models, mostly financed through the Foreign Military Financing program. This deal comes amid growing international criticism of the use of these bombs in densely populated civilian areas, especially following Hamas attacks on Gaza in October 2023, where Israeli forces used these weapons to target tunnel networks, posing significant risks to civilians. Political discussions continue between Republicans and Democrats to expedite the completion of the deal, despite tensions with the Israeli government and some parties' desire to review the delivery process.
