Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed gratitude to U.S. President Donald Trump for resuming the shipment of 2,000-pound MK-84 bombs to Israel, which had been halted by the previous administration under President Joe Biden. Netanyahu's thanks were conveyed through a video message, where he acknowledged Trump's commitment to providing Israel with the necessary tools to defend itself, confront common enemies, and secure a future of peace and prosperity. The shipment includes 1,800 MK-84 bombs, each weighing 900 kilograms, which were previously stored in the U.S. and are set to be delivered to Israel in the coming days. This move reverses Biden's decision to suspend the shipment out of concern that the bombs might be used in densely populated areas of Gaza.
