Trump administration lifts hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel

Donald Trump has only been in office for a few days, but he's already been working at a furious pace to undo the damage that Sleepy Joe Biden's administration caused to this country and its allies.

One thing that Trump is eager to reverse is Biden's treatment of one of America's oldest friends, Israel.

Less than one week after taking power, Trump lifted a hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel after Biden had withheld them.

Axios reported, "The hold -- which Biden used to protest Israel’s invasion of Rafah -- became a political symbol much more than a military operational issue and was used by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to mobilize Republicans against Biden."

The report from Axios cited three Israeli officials, one of which said that the Israeli government became aware of Trump's plan to release the bombs on Jan. 24.

The 1,800 bombs will be en route to Israel soon.

This isn't the only thing that Trump has done for Israel during his young second term.

Breitbart News is reporting that Trump has signed at least four executive actions meant to benefit Israel:

1) Revoking President Joe Biden’s sanctions on the International Criminal Court, which is prosecuting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant.

2) Blocking visas to individuals who support foreign terror organizations, ensuring that those admitted to this country "do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security."

3) Pausing and reviewing foreign aid to ensure that funding does not go to groups that oppose U.S. interests, like the (unnamed) terror-linked United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA.

4) Revoking sanctions that the Biden administration imposed on individuals perceived to support Israeli settlement within Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) or otherwise perceived as having the “wrong” views on peace negotiations with, or aid to, the Palestinians.
