Biden Administration Resumes Shipment of 500-Pound Bombs to Israel After Two-Month Pause
Jul 10, 2024, 07:40 PM
The Biden administration has agreed to resume the shipment of 500-pound bombs to Israel, ending a two-month pause that was imposed over concerns about civilian casualties in Gaza. The U.S. had previously withheld these shipments in an effort to reduce civilian deaths. The decision to release around half of the shipment comes after deliberations and is expected to see the bombs arriving in Israel in the coming weeks, according to U.S. officials and the Times of Israel.
