A shipment of some 1,800 heavy bombs from the United States that had been held up by the previous American administration arrived in Israel overnight, the Defense Ministry announced on Sunday.
A ship carrying the MK-84 2,000-lb munitions docked at Ashdod Port and was unloaded onto dozens of trucks and taken to Israeli airbases, the ministry said.
Defense Minister Israel Katz hailed the arrival of the bombs, saying in a statement: “The munitions shipment that arrived in Israel tonight, released by the Trump administration, represents a significant asset for the Air Force and the IDF and serves as further evidence of the strong alliance between Israel and the United States.”
“I thank President Donald Trump and the US administration for their unwavering support of the State of Israel. We will continue working together to strengthen our security,” Katz added.
The Biden administration blocked the shipment because investigations found the bombs were being dropped on areas that Israel had designated as “safe zones” for civilians.
Defense Minister Katz announced last week that Israel is working on a plan to move displaced Palestinians to majority white countries like Spain, Ireland, Norway and Canada.
Katz said last year that if Israel is attacked by Iran the Jewish state expects the West to fight their wars.
