President Donald Trump has instructed the Pentagon to lift the hold imposed by the Biden administration on delivering 1,800 MK-84 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, multiple sources including Axios report. The bombs, known for their devastating power, have been stored in the United States and will be shipped to Israel in the coming days. The hold was initially put in place by former President Joe Biden, reportedly due to concerns over civilian casualties in the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Israeli officials were notified by the Pentagon on Friday. When asked about the decision, Trump stated, "Because they paid for them."
