U.S. Approves $3 Billion Arms Deal with Israel Amid Ceasefire Talks

The Trump administration has approved a significant arms sale to Israel, valued at nearly $3 billion. This deal includes over 35,500 MK 84 and BLU-117 bombs, 4,000 Predator warheads, and Caterpillar D9 bulldozers, among other equipment. The State Department bypassed the usual congressional review, citing national security interests.

The timing of this approval coincides with the expiration of the first phase of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The truce, which began in January 2025, has seen the release of hostages and prisoners on both sides, along with increased humanitarian aid to Gaza. Negotiators are working to extend the ceasefire and move toward a lasting resolution.

This arms deal underscores the U.S.'s continued support for Israel, even as the region navigates a fragile peace process.
