President Joe Biden’s administration recently authorized the transfer of military equipment, including bombs and aircraft, to Israel despite its concerns about the next phase in the war against Hamas in Gaza.

This military aid legislation, which Congress approved years ago, includes more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, the Washington Post reported, citing Pentagon and State Department officials familiar with the matter. The State Department also authorized the transfer of 25 F-35A fighter jets and engines, per the Post.
