Biden withheld weapons from Israel for political purposes; Trump releases to Israel

President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that weapons purchased by Israel that were being withheld by President Joe Biden are now being shipped.

The new administration instructed the Department of Defense to release the hold that it placed on the 2,000-pound bombs that Israel ordered, Axios reported.

“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 posted on social media.

Israeli officials said that they learned on Friday that Trump had released the 1,800 MK-84 bombs that were being held in storage, the report said.

The bombs are now being placed on a ship and sent to Israel.
