Middle East : Trump plans $2.8bn arms package for Israel amid Gaza war

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · Middle East

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing a $2.8 billion arms package for Israel, including 40,000 bombs, as Israel continues strikes in Gaza despite last October's ceasefire. The proposed deal would further strengthen Israel's military capabilities and revive deliveries of 2,000-pound bombs that had previously been paused over concerns about civilian casualties.
