Munitions shipment to Israel still on hold by the US

The United States is maintaining a pause on a shipment of heavy munitions for Israel, senior US officials told visiting Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday.

One official said that the two governments remain in discussions about a shipment of heavy bombs, which was paused by US President Joe Biden in early May over concerns the weapons could cause more Palestinian deaths in Gaza after Israel began its invasion of Rafah.
