Trump’s Israel Bomb Sale: What’s Inside The $2.8 Billion Package Facing Democratic Opposition?

The Trump administration is planning a $2.8 billion munitions package for Israel that includes 40,000 2,000-pound bombs, according to US officials. The proposed deal includes 20,000 MK-84s and 20,000 BLU-117s, along with 20,000 I-2000 penetrator warheads. The package would largely be financed through US Foreign Military Financing, meaning taxpayer-funded assistance would be used for the purchase. But the deal is facing opposition in Washington, with a senior House Democrat refusing to support it over concerns about how the weapons could be used. Credits: Gayatri Menon, Sachin Muni
