A planned arms deal includes the delivery of powerful 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. The $2.8 billion package comprises 40,000 bombs, consisting of Mk84s and BLU-117s. This deal was previously paused by the Biden administration due to concerns about potential mass casualties in Gaza.

The proposed sale has been informally notified to Congress, with most of the cost to be covered by foreign military financing. This means US taxpayer dollars will be given to Israel to purchase the weapons from the US.

Further details about the planned arms deal are available, including the breakdown of the bomb types and the financing arrangement.
