The Trump administration is planning to sell $3.6 billion worth of munitions, including 40,000 bombs, to Israel, according to a U.S. official speaking anonymously. The planned sale includes MK 84s and BLU-117 bombs which have been previously used by Israel in conflicts like the Gaza war, where over 73,000 Palestinians were killed. This comes amid growing public skepticism about U.S. support for Israel, particularly among Democrats.
