Pres. Trump sending Israel thousands of 2,000-pound bombs

Bahdahbah-bahdahbing! President Trump is sending Israel thousands of bombs, big bombs, two-thousand pound bombs, as many as 1,800 MK-84 bombs will be shipped to the Jewish State in spite of the so-called ceasefire with the terror group Hamas.

This move reverses a Biden administration hold on the explosive supply, Israeli officials told Axios.

The Israeli government was reportedly informed by the Pentagon about the bomb release on Friday, the day before Hamas let four hostages go as part of the ceasefire deal. Trump is reportedly planning to send 1,800 MK-84 bombs to Israel in the near future.

These huge bombs have been kept in storage since May when Biden chose to delay their shipment due to worries about the potential for major civilian casualties if they were used in Gaza's crowded areas.

The U.S. had already given Israel over 10,000 of these bombs during the conflict. These bombs are called “bunker busters” because they can penetrate deep into the ground before exploding.

This decision to pause the shipment put a lot of strain on the relationship between the U.S. and Israel.

The news came shortly after Mike Herzog, who was stepping down as Israel's ambassador to the U.S., mentioned that he anticipated Trump would lift the ban early in his term. He said, “We believe that Trump is going to release, at the beginning of his term, the munitions that haven't been released until now by the Biden administration.”
