On Saturday evening, Trump's Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Israel on his first trip to the Middle East. After talks in Israel, he plans to visit the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
What is the Mk 84?
The Mk 84 (also known as Mark 84) is a so-called heavy, unguided multi-purpose free-fall bomb. It was developed and put into service during the Vietnam War and is a standard weapon in the US Air Force arsenal.
Unwavering supporter of Israel
Trump is an unwavering supporter of Israel. Among other things, he helped bring about a ceasefire agreement between Israel and the radical Islamic Palestinian organization Hamas in mid-January.
Most recently, Trump's proposal to completely evacuate the war-torn Gaza Strip and relocate the 2.4 million Palestinians living there to Jordan and Egypt was met with rejection in the Arab world, among others.
