Republican president Donald Trump said on Saturday he instructed the United States Army to release a control imposed by former Democratic President Joe Biden on the supply of 2,000 -pound bombs to Israel.
The movement was widely expected.
“We launched them. We throw them today. And they will have them. They paid for them and have been waiting for them for a long time. They have been stored, “Trump told journalists aboard Air Force One.
Biden contributed the delivery of these bombs due to the concern for the impact they could have on the civilian population, particularly in the Rafah de Gaza, during the Israel War in the Palestinian enclave.
A 2,000 pounds can tear the thick concrete and metal, creating a wide explosion radius. Reuters reported last year that the Biden Administration had sent thousands of 2,000 -pound bombs to Israel after the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas Palestinian militants from Gaza, but had a shipment on a shipment.
Washington has announced assistance for Israel worth billions of dollars since the war began.
When asked why he launched the powerful bombs, Trump replied: “Because they bought them.”
Earlier on Saturday, Trump said on the social platform of truth: “Biden are now sent many things they ordered and paid, but they have not been sent by Biden!”
Trump and Biden have been strong supporters of the ally of the United States Israel, even when Washington has been criticized by human rights defenders for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza for Israel’s military assault. Protesters have unsuccessfully demanded a weapons embargo.
Washington says he is helping Israel defend against militant groups backed by Iran as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthis in Yemen.
A high Gaza’s fire entered into force a week ago and has led to the release of some Israeli hostages in the hands of Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Before its inauguration on January 20, Trump had warned that there would be “hell to pay” if hostages were not released in the hands of Hamas in Gaza.
Hamas took around 250 hostages during the 2023 attack against Israel in which they killed about 1,200 people, according to the many Israeli. He prepared the last bloodshed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict of decades.
Israel’s subsequent military assault has killed more than 47,000 people, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, and has led to accusations of crimes of genocide and war that Israel denies. He also displaced almost the entire population of Gaza and caused a hunger crisis.
