Trump administration plans $2.8 billion arms sale to Israel
Most outlets reported the proposed $2.8 billion munitions sale by the Trump administration to Israel, citing unnamed sources. Several emphasized the inclusion of 20,000 or 40,000 2,000-pound bombs, with some specifying the types (MK-84, BLU-117, I-2000 warheads).

Aaj News (English) uniquely noted that the Biden administration had previously withheld similar munitions over civilian concerns. While most outlets focused on the scale and contents of the sale, the framing of the bombs’ impact varied, with some using terms like "highly destructive" and others omitting such descriptors.
