Trump proposes $2.8B bomb delivery to Israel
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump plans to finalize a 2.8 billion dollar arms deal with Israel, which includes the shipment of 40,000 2,000-pound bombs. This is one of the largest heavy munitions deals in recent years. The package includes 20,000 MK-84 bombs and 20,000 BLU-117 bombs, along with bunker-busting warheads of the type I-2000. The deal has been submitted for approval through the Foreign Military Financing mechanism and is among the largest transfers of such bombs to Israel, raising concerns about the use of heavy ordnance in populated areas and increasing criticism of their impact on civilians during military operations in Gaza and Lebanon. This comes amid debates within the United States about the level of military support provided to Israel, with a poll showing that 48% of Americans believe the support is excessive.
