Trump administration prepares $2.8 billion arms package for Israel
The proposed deal includes 40,000 bombs and would resume delivery of 2,000-pound munitions previously paused over civilian casualty concerns.
The Trump administration is reportedly preparing a $2.8 billion arms package for Israel, according to reporting on the matter. The package includes 40,000 bombs and would revive deliveries of 2,000-pound bombs that had previously been paused.
The move comes as Israel continues military operations in Gaza following a ceasefire last October. The previous pause on certain munitions deliveries had been linked to concerns about civilian casualties in the conflict.
