The administration of President Donald Trump plans to deliver 40,000 bombs of 900 kilograms in exchange for 2.8 billion dollars. The shipment includes some of the most destructive bombs in Western arsenals: about 20,000 MK-84 and BLU-117 bombs and another 20,000 I-2000 bombs, according to information reported by the <em>Washington Post.</em>All ammunition is intended to be launched from the air. However, the MK-84 and BLU-117 bombs have a general purpose, while the I-2000s are designed to attack bunkers and other armored structures. This type of ammunition <a href="https://www.ara.cat/internacional/proxim-orient/biden-aturar-enviament-d-armes-israel-davant-l-assalt-rafah_1_5021994.html" >already caused concern in 2024 for former President Joe Biden </a>for fear that Israel would use it in a large-scale offensive in Rafah that would cause numerous civilian casualties. This led the former US president to suspend the shipment. </p>]]></description>
