U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to lift the Biden administration’s freeze on the supply of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel in his first days in office, Walla News reported on Monday, citing an interview with the Israeli envoy to Washington.

Trump is also expected to reverse sanctions the Biden administration imposed against Israeli settlers accused of violent attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Mike Herzog told Walla News.

Donald Trump’s views on the Israel-Palestine conflict have emphasized strong support for Israel. As president, he took unprecedented steps favoring Israel, including moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, breaking with decades of U.S. policy. He also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

Trump championed the “Abraham Accords,” fostering normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab nations, which he saw as a way to build regional peace without addressing Palestinian statehood directly. His administration proposed a peace plan in 2020 that offered limited Palestinian autonomy but was widely rejected by Palestinian leaders as heavily favoring Israel.

Trump has often criticized Palestinian leadership, accusing them of fostering terrorism and rejecting peace initiatives. His approach has been seen as reshaping U.S. policy toward a pro-Israel stance, sidelining traditional calls for a two-state solution. His policies remain controversial, celebrated by Israel supporters and criticized by advocates for Palestinian rights and international peace efforts.
