Trump Sends Withheld Bombs to Israel After Biden’s Political Stalling

President Donald Trump has ordered the release of advanced weapons that President Joe Biden had withheld from Israel, marking a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy under the new administration. The weapons, including 1,800 MK-84 bombs, are now being shipped to Israel after being held in storage under the Biden administration, reportedly to appease the far-left, anti-Israel wing of the Democratic Party.

“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 declared on social media, underscoring his commitment to strengthening U.S.-Israel relations.

The Biden administration had halted the shipment of the 2,000-pound bombs, despite Israel already having paid for them. According to reports, the delay was politically motivated, aimed at placating progressive factions within the Democratic Party ahead of the November elections.

Israeli officials confirmed on Friday that the Trump administration reversed Biden’s decision, authorizing the release of the bombs. The weapons are now being shipped, reaffirming America’s support for one of its closest allies.

In a related announcement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that the Trump administration is pausing all foreign aid to countries outside of Israel and Egypt. A signed memo instructed U.S. employees involved in foreign aid to halt funding and issue “stop-work” orders to groups with existing grants. The decision allows the U.S. government to reassess its foreign aid programs over the next 90 days, ensuring taxpayer dollars align with national security interests.

Key points from the memo include:

• Immediate freeze on new foreign aid funding: All applications for foreign aid are suspended until the review is complete.

• Exceptions for military aid to Israel and Egypt: These nations remain critical to U.S. strategic interests in the Middle East.

• Accountability in foreign spending: A shift toward prioritizing American security and allies over wasteful aid to hostile nations.

Trump’s actions underscore his administration’s unwavering support for Israel, contrasting sharply with Biden’s politically driven decisions. By prioritizing military aid to Israel, Trump is reaffirming America’s role as a steadfast ally amid increasing threats in the Middle East.

This move also sends a strong signal to adversaries: the U.S. will not abandon its commitments to its allies. Trump’s foreign policy continues to prioritize strength, accountability, and putting America’s interests first.
