The US is preparing to deliver 500-pound bombs as part of a weapons shipment to Israel that was suspended last month over concerns about Israel’s ongoing military assault in Rafah.
The matter was discussed this week during a visit to Washington by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, a US official said on Thursday.
The shipment was paused by President Joe Biden in early May over concerns that the weapons could cause more Palestinian deaths in Gaza.
