Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar thanks US President Donald Trump for lifting a Biden-era decision to block certain munitions from Israel.

“Thank you President Trump for yet another display of leadership by releasing the crucial defense shipment to Israel,” writes Sa’ar. “The region is safer when Israel has what it needs to defend itself.”

Yesterday Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that “we released them. We released them today. And they’ll have them. They paid for them and they’ve been waiting for them for a long time. They’ve been in storage.”
