"Many things that were ordered and paid for by Israel, but not sent by Biden, are now on their way!" the president writes on his platform Truth Social.

Later, he confirmed that it was the 900-kilogram bombs that the post referred to.

We released them today, he said to reporters on board the presidential plane Air Force One.

They have been waiting for them for a long time. You know, they have been stored for as long as possible and we released them today to Israel.

The former President Joe Biden stopped the delivery of them in May last year in an attempt to prevent Israel from launching a major offensive in densely populated Rafah in Gaza.

Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of these bombs, said Biden in an interview with CNN then.

Joe Biden also paused the delivery of around 1,700 smaller bombs, which weighed around 230 kilos, but it was resumed a few weeks later.
