The Pentagon (the Pentagon) said in a statement that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had accepted a possible sale of bombs, demolition equipment and other weapons for Israel at a value of around $ 3 billion.
The congress was informed of possible weapons sales Friday afternoon in an emergency.
This process goes beyond a long -term practice, which must grant the leaders and members of the Foreign Affairs Committee to the House of Representatives and to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the possibility of examining the agreement and requesting more information before the officially notified congress.
Weapons sales include 35 thousand and 529 general ends weighing approximately a thousand kilograms and four thousand supernatural bombs for the same weight produced by General Dynamix.
While the Pentagon said that delivery operations will start in 2026, it added: “It is possible that part of these purchases comes from the American stock”, which can mean immediate delivery to certain weapons.
The value of the second package is $ 675 million, and it consists of five thousand bombs, each weighs around 500 kilograms with the required equipment adapted to help direct “stupid” bombs, that is to say not guided. This package was to be delivered in 2028.
A third notification contains bulldozers produced by Catpeberler worth $ 295 million.
This is the second time in a month that the Trump administration has declared the state of emergency for rapid approval to sell weapons in Israel.

The administration of former president Joe Bident previously used the emergency authorities to agree to sell weapons in Israel without examining the congress.
On Monday, the Trump administration canceled a prescription made during the Biden era, and it was forced to report possible violations of international law, which relate to the weapons offered by the United States to the Allies, including Israel.
The cease-fire agreement was concluded in Gaza after an Israeli extermination war against the Gaza Strip over a period of 15 months, which led to death and the injury of more than 160,000 people and a formidable destruction that the world has not known since the Second World War.
Thursday, prisoners’ exchanges were completed in the first stage of the agreement, which entered into force on January 19, after the success of the mediation led by Qatar, Egypt and the United States.
The first step – which lasted 6 weeks – ends today, Saturday, and Israel refrained from entering the negotiations on the second stage, and seeks to prolong the first to restore more of his families in Gaza without committing to ending the war.
