President Trump recently declared that weapons ordered by Israel would finally be on their way, after being stuck in limbo thanks to the Biden administration. The Defense Department, under Trump’s orders, announced it would lift its hold on a shipment of 2,000-pound MK-84 bombs that Israel had already shelled out for, while Biden’s crew was busy giving them the silent treatment.
The situation is a baffling illustration of Biden’s political maneuvering. Instead of ensuring the safety and security of an ally under attack, he opted to play games, likely to appease the far-left wing of his party. It’s almost as if Biden thinks urgent foreign defense needs can wait for him to score some brownie points with the progressives ahead of the upcoming elections. But while the Democrats drum up their latest plans to win over the woke crowd, Israel’s security hangs in the balance.
Trump Releases Weapons Biden Withheld From Israel https://t.co/78g8JTUA94

In classic Biden fashion, the decision to halt Israel’s shipment of these crucial bombs comes off as a ploy to wrangle concessions from an ally facing a brutal conflict against Hamas. Thankfully, Israel received good news via a Friday update that the hold on the delivery of 1,800 MK-84 bombs was lifted. They’re often regarded as among the most deadly munitions, and they’re not exactly designed for sparklers and birthday celebrations.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has made some key moves of its own. In a memo signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, it was announced that foreign aid, outside of weapons support, would be put on pause. This announcement signals a significant shift in how the federal government is rethinking its approach to foreign aid over the next 90 days. The directives emphasized an immediate halt on funding applications and the issuing of “stop-work” orders to groups that have previously received grants. It’s about time taxpayers saw some accountability and decisive action instead of endless funding tied up in bureaucratic knots.
With Trump taking the lead in ensuring that Israel can finally arm itself against threats while Biden was busy working to appease his leftist base, it paints a stark picture of two vastly different approaches to foreign policy. One prioritizes national and ally security, while the other struggles with a tendency for political posturing that endangers America’s relationships on the world stage. The contrast couldn’t be clearer, and it’s one that voters may remember when they head to the polls.
