Trump plans $2.8 billion Israel arms deal with 40,000 heavy bombs
- The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion arms package for Israel with 40,000 powerful 2,000-pound bombs.
- The package includes 20,000 MK-84 and 20,000 BLU-117 bombs, according to US officials familiar with the plan.
- The proposed deal has been informally shared with US congressional committees, but it is not yet final.
- The Biden administration had paused deliveries of these bombs in 2024 over concerns about civilian casualties in densely populated Gaza; Trump later lifted the hold.
