President Donald Trump’s administration is readying a massive, $2.8 billion taxpayer-funded sale of bombs to Israel, according to a report.

The deal would be the largest single sale of the devastating, 2,000-pound bombs in the last few years, one U.S. official told The Washington Post, which did not publicly identify the source.

The bomb sale would be paid for with cash from American taxpayers, according to the report.

According to the report, the deal would include 40,000 bombs — 20,000 MK-84s and 20,000 BLU-117s — along with 20,000 I-2000 Penetrator warheads.

MK-84 bombs are known for their devastating destructive power, sending shrapnel in various directions for long ranges which can cut through metal and concrete. The bombs frequently leave large craters, according to The Post.
“All foreign arms sales are moving through the appropriate process. We do not comment on pending sales,” a senior administration official told Mediaite when asked about the report.
Word of the deal comes amid increasing frustration with the conflict in Iran, which has dragged on nearly seven months, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The Post reported.
A 2025 deal to sell munitions to Israel which cost $2.04 billion ended up bypassing normal Congressional review procedures, according to the report.

While the United States has sold munitions to Israel before, this deal would dwarf previous ones. The Biden Administration at one point stopped sending the 2,000-pound bomb to Israel over fears it would result in the deaths of Palestinian citizens.

One expert told the outlet Israel is known for using the immense bombs to root out targets.

Trevor Ball, who once worked as an explosive-ordnance-disposal technician for the U.S. Army, confirmed the destructive ability of the bomb in question.

“They do like to use them a lot when they’re trying to target any building,” he said. “If Hezbollah or whoever is in a building, an MK-84 will bring down the whole building.”
