The US State Department announced approval for more than $7,4 billion in arms sales to Israel, as Trump continues the military support for Israel that Biden, who tried to appear less pro-Israel, had fully implemented before him.
Tel Aviv will receive 166 small-diameter bombs, 2800 500-pound bombs, thousands of guidance kits, fuses and other bomb components and support equipment for $6,75 billion. In addition, Israel will receive 3000 missiles Hellfire and related equipment worth $660 million. Deliveries are scheduled to begin this year.
The United States is committed to Israel's security and it is vital to its national interest to provide assistance to Israel.
- the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said in a statement.
Let us recall that Donald Trump lifted the ban on sending 2000-pound bombs to Israel shortly after taking office. The new decision was made by the American authorities after the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United States.
Under former President Joe Biden, the US has provided $2023 billion in military aid to Israel since the start of the Gaza conflict in October 17,9.
