Trump Lifts Biden's Hold on 1,800 2,000-Pound MK-84 Bombs to Israel
Jan 25, 2025, 07:59 PM
President Donald Trump has lifted the hold imposed by former President Joe Biden on the supply of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, according to multiple reports including Axios and Reuters. Israeli officials stated that the White House instructed the Pentagon to release 1,800 MK-84 bombs, which had been held in storage in the United States. The Pentagon notified the Israeli government on Friday, and the bombs are expected to be shipped to Israel by sea in the coming days. The hold was originally placed by the Biden administration in May due to concerns over the Israeli operation in Rafah and potential civilian casualties in Gaza. Despite halting foreign aid globally, the U.S. will continue weapons aid to Israel and Egypt. The resumption of the arms shipment marks a policy shift under the Trump administration.
