President Donald Trump knows an ally when he sees one, and he has lifted the Biden ban on 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.
The Jewish State received the shipment of MK-84 bombs on Saturday night in a joint operation of the IDF and the US government. It's obvious that the 'Veggie-in-Chief" is gone and a true ally of Israel is in charge.
The big bombs were unloaded at Ashdod Port and transferred to Israeli Air Force bases, according to a Sunday morning Defense Ministry statement.

"The munitions shipment that arrived in Israel tonight, released by the Trump Administration, represents a significant asset for the Air Force and the [Israel Defense Forces] and serves as further evidence of the strong alliance between Israel and the United States," Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said.
"In our recent conversation, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth reaffirmed America's commitment to continue providing Israel with all necessary tools to ensure its security," Katz said. "I thank President Donald Trump and the U.S. Administration for their unwavering support of the State of Israel. We will continue working together to strengthen our security."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin ('Bibi') Netanyahu on January 26 praised President Trump’s decision to lift a partial arms embargo the Biden administration had imposed on Jerusalem during Israel's war against Hamas. It was as if Biden's handler wanted Israel to fight the terrorists with one arm tied behind their back. We still don't know for certain who was controlling the White House with Biden as figure-head, but some believe it was his son, Hunter.
“Thank you President Trump for keeping your promise to give Israel the tools it needs to defend itself, to confront our common enemies and to secure a future of peace and prosperity,” Bibi said in a video message.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One in January, President Trump said that he lifted restrictions on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.
“We released them today,” Trump said. When asked why, he replied: “Because they bought them.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar expressed his appreciation for the decision.
“Thank you President Trump for yet another display of leadership by releasing the crucial defense shipment to Israel. The region is safer when Israel has what it needs to defend itself,” Sa’ar posted on X.
Biden's handler, possibly Hunter Biden, suspended the delivery of these weapons in May to discourage an Israeli offensive in the southern Gaza city Rafah. “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” Biden mush-mouthed to the Compromised News Network at the time.

A month later, Netanyahu told then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken that it was “inconceivable” for the administration to withhold weapons and ammunition during Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza. Blinken, true to his name, blinked twice and had nothing useful to say in response.
“When Secretary Blinken was recently here in Israel, we had a candid conversation. I said I deeply appreciated the support the U.S. has given Israel from the beginning of the war. But I also said something else. I said it’s inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunition to Israel,” Bibi said in a video message.
“Israel, America’s closest ally, [is] fighting for its life, fighting against Iran and our other common enemies,” Netanyahu continued. “Secretary Blinken assured me that the administration is working day and night to remove these bottlenecks. I certainly hope that’s the case. It should be the case.
“During World War II, Churchill told the United States, ‘Give us the tools, we’ll do the job.’ And I say, give us the tools and we’ll finish the job a lot faster,” said Netanyahu.
