Forty thousand munitions weighing 2,000 pounds each are headed to the Israeli military following an authorization for the transfer by the Trump administration. This shipment, which includes 20,000 MK-84s and 20,000 BLU-117s, will be funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars. The package also provides 20,000 I-2000 Penetrator warheads for bunker-busting operations and is the largest single order of its kind in recent years.

House Foreign Affairs Ranking Member Gregory Meeks announced he will not clear the $2.8 billion sale, introducing a congressional hold on the munitions. The proposal surpasses previous transfers from both the Biden and Trump administrations, including a $2.04 billion sale in 2025. The deal now moves to Congress for approval, where over 100 House Democrats previously voted to cut Israel aid in July.
