Since October 7, 2023, the United States has provided Israel with more than $30 billion in military aid, data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) has revealed. This amount includes $8 billion granted to Israel by former President Joe Biden in the last week of his presidency.
The United States military aid to Israel has supported the genocidal war in Gaza, Israel’s war in Lebanon, military operations in the occupied West Bank, and attacks on Syria, Iran, and Yemen.
The Costs of War report also said United States military operations in the Middle East to support Israel cost American taxpayers at least $4.8 billion, a number that must have also risen since the United States has continued to bomb Yemen and deployed a THAAD air defense system to Israel.
An Israeli Air Force official told Haaretz that without United States military aid, Israel would not be able to sustain operations in Gaza for more than a few months.
