The U.S. will sell Israel $7.4 billion worth of weapons.

The Trump administration has approved the sale of weapons to Israel amounting to over $7.4 billion. This package will include missiles, bombs, and much more.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine referencing Bloomberg.

On Friday, February 7, the State Department notified the U.S. Congress about the approval of the sale of 3,000 Hellfire air-to-ground missiles and related equipment worth $660 million. Additionally, the package will include bombs, guidance systems, and detonators, with a total value of $6.75 billion.

"The United States is committed to Israel's security, and it is vital for U.S. national interests to assist Israel in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability," the State Department stated.

The sales include over 2,100 GBU-39/B 250-pound bombs and 2,800 bodies for MK-82 500-pound bombs. Deliveries of the bombs and associated guidance systems are expected to begin next year, while Hellfires, manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corp., will start in 2028.

The anticipated bomb sales will be sourced both from U.S. stockpiles and from contractors, including Boeing Co., ATK Tactical Systems Co., and the L3Harris Technologies Inc. division.

Bloomberg added that last month, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump sent Israel a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs. This weapon delivery had been paused by former President Joe Biden due to the way Israel conducted its military offensive against Hamas in Gaza.

It is worth noting that at the end of January, the new administration in the U.S. decided to lift restrictions on the supply of heavy aerial bombs to Israel, thus reversing the ban imposed by Joe Biden. This ban had caused one of the largest crises in U.S.-Israel relations during the conflict in the Gaza Strip last May.

Netanyahu’s Visit to the U.S.

We also reported that on February 4, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made an official visit to Washington, marking the first visit by a foreign politician to Trump since he took office as the newly elected president. During the visit, the head of the Israeli government held talks with Trump.

Following the discussions, Trump stated that the Palestinians would be required to temporarily relocate from the devastated Gaza Strip to Egypt and Jordan. The Hamas group and the Palestinian Authority did not support this idea.
