WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is discussing with Israel the release of a shipment of 500-pound bombs that was suspended in May over worries about the military operation in Rafah, a U.S. official said on Thursday.
The matter was discussed this week during a visit to Washington by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, the official said.
Axios, citing a U.S. and an Israeli official, earlier said the United States was preparing to deliver the bombs.
Top aides to President Joe Biden told Gallant that Washington was maintaining a pause on a shipment of heavy bombs for Israel while the issue is under review, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday.
Biden paused the single shipment in May over concerns they could cause more Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza.
