The US is preparing to provide a new $1 billion arms package to Israel, including thousands of 1,000-pound bombs and armored bulldozers, funded through military aid money. This comes after President Trump lifted a hold on a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs for Israel. Trump is also expected to stop US engagement with the UN Human Rights Council and continue a halt to funding for UNRWA. The move coincides with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, who has criticized UNRWA for anti-Israel incitement and involvement in terrorist activities.
