The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion arms package for Israel containing 40,000 2,000-pound bombs, split equally between Mk84 and BLU-117 munitions, with most funding coming through Foreign Military Financing. Congress has received informal notification of the deal, which remains unfinished. The planned transfer follows the reversal of a 2024 Biden administration pause on one bomb shipment over civilian-casualty concerns. It arrives as Israel continues strikes in Gaza despite an October ceasefire, while the territory's Health Ministry says Israel's offensive has killed more than 73,264 Palestinians following the Hamas-led October 2023 attack that killed about 1,200 people in Israel and took 251 hostages. The administration previously approved a nearly $3 billion bomb sale last year and $6.67 billion in additional Israeli arms sales in January.
