Trump speeds up Israel arms deals totaling $22 billion
The administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed a significant acceleration in arms deals and military aid directed to Israel since his return to the White House in January 2025, amounting to nearly $19.2 billion. Additionally, a new deal worth $2.8 billion was announced in September 2025, involving advanced weapons such as heavy bombs, missiles, and helicopters. The administration utilized emergency powers to expedite sales processes and bypass traditional review procedures in Congress, especially amid escalating conflicts with Iran and Israeli wars. There has been a focus on equipping Israel with high-destructive-capacity weapons, such as heavier and more precise bombs, aiming to bolster its military capabilities despite objections within the Democratic Party regarding the use of taxpayers' funds. These deals form part of ongoing support, bringing the total announced value so far to approximately $22 billion.
