"We have paused one shipment of weapons (to Israel) last week," a senior administration officials confirms to VOA News. "It consists of 1,800 2,000-lb bombs and 1,700 500-lb bombs. We are especially focused on the end-use of the 2,000-lb bombs and the impact they could have in dense urban settings as we have seen in other parts of Gaza. We have not made a final determination on how to proceed with this shipment."
"For certain other cases at the State Department, including JDAM kits, we are continuing the review. None of these cases involve imminent transfers – they are about future transfers" to Israel, adds the senior administration official.
