The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing a significant arms package for Israel valued at approximately $2.8 billion. According to Reuters, the proposal has been submitted to relevant congressional committees for preliminary review, though a final decision on the deal has not yet been made. An American official familiar with the discussions indicated that the sale involves a large quantity of ammunition.
Neither the U.S. State Department nor the Israeli Embassy in Washington had commented on the specifics of the potential transaction at the time of reporting. This proposed arms sale comes amid ongoing debates in Congress regarding the scope of American aid to Israel. In July, the House of Representatives rejected an amendment by Republican Thomas Massie that sought to cut $3.3 billion in funding to Israel, with 104 representatives supporting the initiative and 314 voting against it.
U.S. arms sales to Israel have been a recurring subject of political contention in Washington in recent years. However, the Trump administration has maintained its policy of military support for Israel.
