Trump admin plans $2.8 billion weapons sale to Israel including 2,000‑pound bombs

The Trump administration is preparing to supply Israel with 2,000‑pound bombs as part of a forthcoming arms agreement, according to a report by France 24. The weapons, which were halted by the Biden administration two years earlier, had been suspended amid concerns that their use could result in large‑scale civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip.

U.S. officials said the new delivery reflects a shift in policy toward increased military support for Israel, while diplomatic sources noted that the decision follows a review of the weapons’ tactical value and the evolving security environment in the region. The move comes as the United States continues to balance its strategic partnership with Israel against international scrutiny over the humanitarian impact of its military aid.
