Trump Administration Plans $2.8 Billion Munitions Sale to Israel Including 40,000 Bombs
The Trump administration plans to sell Israel a $2.8 billion munitions package including 40,000 2,000-pound bombs (20,000 MK 84s and 20,000 BLU-117s), as reported by Reuters and the Washington Post. The sale has been informally shared with congressional committees. The bombs have been used by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon, drawing scrutiny amid ongoing conflict involving Hamas, Iran, and regional strikes. U.S. public support for Israel has declined since the 2023 Gaza war began, with debates over the humanitarian impact and Israel's self-defense claims.
