On Saturday, Trump ordered the U.S. to resume shipments of the 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. In May, Biden halted the shipments, claiming at the time that the weapons were being used in areas with high concentrations of civilians, leading to civilian deaths.

A U.S. backed ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel will remain in effect until the middle of next month, the White House announced Sunday.

Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their ceasefire until Feb. 18 to give Israeli troops more time to withdraw, the Trump administration said Sunday, while a Gaza dispute with Hamas over a hostage was resolved.

Israel said Palestinians could begin returning to the north of the war-battered Gaza Strip on Monday after a deal was reached with Hamas for the release of another six hostages, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office.

An agreement has been reached between Israel and Hamas that involves the release of additional hostages and the return of Palestinians to the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Some troops had been expected to withdraw to allow hundreds of thousands of displaced Gazans to go home. But Israel said the hostage exchange before that step had not gone as agreed. Hamas accused Israel of stalling.
