Trump Releases Weapons To Israel That Biden Withheld For Political Reasons
President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that weapons purchased by Israel that were being withheld by President Joe Biden are now being shipped.
The new administration instructed the Department of Defense to release the hold that it placed on the 2,000-pound bombs that Israel ordered, Axios reported.
“A lot of things that were ordered and paid for by Israel, but have not been sent by Biden, are now on their way!” Trump posted on social media.
Biden had halted the supply of the bombs to Israel in an attempt to appease the far-Left, anti-Semitic-wing of the Democrat Party heading into the November elections.
Israeli officials said that they learned on Friday that Trump had released the 1,800 MK-84 bombs that were being held in storage, the report said.
The bombs are now being placed on a ship and sent to Israel.

The Trump administration has announced that it is pausing all foreign aid to other countries except weapons support to Israel and Egypt.
The announcement came in a memo that was signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that laid out how the U.S. government was going to reassess foreign aid over the next 90 days.
The memo ordered all U.S. employees working on foreign aid to immediately stop “designating new funding and taking applications, and to issue ‘stop-work’ orders to groups that have received grants.”
