The Trump administration is preparing to sell 907 kilograms (2,000 pounds) of bombs worth $2.8 billion to Israel, one of the largest such munitions sales in recent years, according to The Washington Post and Agence France-Presse. The package includes 40,000 bombs, among them MK-84 general purpose bombs and BLU-117 thermobaric variants, as well as I-2000 penetrating warheads designed to strike hardened underground structures. This move comes amid criticism of Israel's large-scale attacks on civilians in the region, with U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen stating he would block the sale.
