The president said on Saturday that Donald Trump had instructed the US military to issue a hold of former president Joe Biden to provide 2,000 pounds of bombs to Israel.
The move was widely expected.
“We released them. We released them today. And they will be with them. They paid for them and they have been waiting for them for a long time. He has been in storage, “Trump told reporters in Air Force One.
Biden caught the bombing of these bombs during the Israeli war in the Palestinian territory, especially in Gaza’s Rafah, due to concerns over their impact.
When asked why he released a powerful bomb, Trump replied, “Because they bought them.”
A 2,000 -pound bomb can be cut through thick concrete and metal, which produces a wide blast radius. Last year, Reuters reported that the Biden administration had sent thousands of pounds of bombs to Israel after October 7, 2023, with Palestinian Hamas militant attacks from Gaza, but they stopped a shipment.
Washington has announced billions of dollars for Israel since the war began.
Earlier on Saturday, Trump said on the truth on social media platform, “Many things that were ordered by Israel were ordered and paid, but Biden has not sent, now his way.” Are on! ”
Trump and Biden have been strong supporters of the US ally Israel, even Washington has criticized human rights supporters in Gaza by Israeli military attacks against Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Protesters have failed to ban the weapons.
A week ago, a ceasefire took place and has led to the release of some Israeli hostages in Gaza in exchange for Israeli -administered Palestinian prisoners in Gaza. Prior to its inauguration on January 20, Trump had warned that if the hostages were not released by Hamas in Gaza, “hell would have to be played”.
Trump said Saturday that Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians than Gaza. When asked if this was a temporary or long -term advice, Trump said: “You can either be.”
Washington said last year that it opposed the Palestinian displaced displaced.
“I told him that I would love to take the most of you because I am now watching the whole strip of Gaza and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I want to take people to take –
“I want Egypt to take people,” Trump told reporters.
“You’re talking about a million and half people, and we just clean all this,” Trump said.
The Israeli population in Gaza was about 2.3 million before the Gaza War.
According to Israeli Tils, Hamas took about 250 hostages on October 7, 2023, in which Israel was attacked, killing about 1,200 people. It gave rise to the latest bloodshed in the decades -old Israeli Palestinian conflict.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 47,000 people have been killed in a post -Israeli military attack on Gaza, and Israel has denied Israel. It also displaced the entire population of Gaza and created a hunger crisis.
Washington says it is helping Israel defending Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthis in Yemen, such as Hamas -backed militant groups.
