Reporting from The Washington Post, cited in NPR’s weekly roundup, has revealed the details of a $2.8 billion arms package the current administration is sending to Israel. The package reportedly includes 2,000-pound bombs — the largest single sale of that particular munition in recent years.
Packages like this typically get a single news cycle, a State Department statement, and then silence. The scale of this one — both the dollar figure and the type of munition involved — is the kind of detail that deserves more scrutiny than a one-day mention.
