US supplies weapon to Israel
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump announced a plan to sell Israel a package of weapons worth $2.8 billion. The deal includes tens of thousands of highly destructive bombs weighing around a ton each, marking one of the largest weapons sales in recent history to Israel. The agreement involves the sale of 20,000 "MK-84" bombs, 20,000 "Blue-117" bombs, and efforts to sell 20,000 "I-2000 Nitratore" warheads. This comes at a time when the U.S. military is facing a shortage of munitions due to the war in Ukraine. The "MK-84" bombs are known for their high destructive power and have been used extensively in Gaza attacks. They have a history of heavy usage and were recently subjected to a temporary review amid concerns over civilian casualties. Sources expect an unofficial notification to Congress followed by an official notice soon, amid ongoing debates over arms sales, especially after the Trump administration approved a $2.04 billion weapons sale to Israel in 2025.
