"Previewing an upcoming story on the U.S.-Israeli military relationship, Eli Lake reports for Newsweek that while publicly pressuring Israel to halt settlement activity in the West Bank in order jump start peace negotiations, the Obama administration sold the Jewish state dozens of deep earth penetrating bombs, known as bunker busters. Lake reports that “U.S. and Israeli officials tell Newsweek that the GBU-28 Hard Target Penetrators—potentially useful in any future military strike against Iranian nuclear sites—were delivered to Israel in 2009, just several months after Obama took office.”
