Trump administration proposes selling nearly $6 billion in weapons to Israel
September 19, 2025
The Trump administration has told Congress it plans to sell nearly $6 billion in weapons to Israel. It includes one $3.8 billion sale for 30 AH-64 Apache helicopters, nearly doubling Israel’s current stocks, and a second $1.9 billion sale for 3,200 infantry assault vehicles for Israeli army. That’s according to a U.S. official and another person familiar with the proposal who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss plans that have not been made public. The packages wouldn’t be delivered for two to three years. However, they are a fresh surge of support for the U.S. ally as it faces increasing isolation over its war in Gaza.
