WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s White House has ordered the U.S. military to lift a freeze on deliveries of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel imposed by the Biden administration, a White House source told Reuters on Saturday.
That move was expected. Biden suspended the delivery of the bombs because of concerns about the impact they could have on Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza. A ceasefire was recently agreed to stop the war.
A particular concern of the Biden administration was the use of such large bombs in the city of Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians in Gaza have found refuge.
