The major aid by the U.S. is weapons or munitions that include artillery shells and 2000-pound bombs.
The brown university Watson Institute reported that the United States has spent $22.76bn to support Israel’s war on Gaza and many other operations like Houthis in Yemen. Here we can see that the U.S. majorly supports Israel.
The support that Israel is getting from the U.S. that is about $17.9bn in military aid is said to be the highest support in one year as soon as the war in Gaza started.
According to the institute’s costs of war project, the aid to Israel is a blend of financing, transfers and weapons sales from U.S weapons stockpiles. According to brown researchers, this report about financing is incomplete because, unlike the U.S.’s publicly documented military aid to Ukraine, data about U.S. military shipments are elusive. in simple, the report is not actually correct. But how can true information be found? According to reports, the figure of $17.9bn is incomplete.
They stated that U.S. President Joe Biden’s efforts to hide the exact number of aid and how different types of systems through bureaucratic maneuvering.
Reports reveal that Israel is the strongest in the Middle East, the major and biggest recipient of U.S. military aid in history. According to reports, they have taken almost $251.2bn in inflation-adjusted dollars since the time of 1959.
In inflation-adjusted dollars, so far the biggest military aid sent to Israel has been $17.9bn since October 7, 2023.
This does not end here, in support of Israel from the U.S., they have also spent $4.86bn on operations in Yemen and the Middle East. The U.S. has piled many air attacks on Houthi positions in Yemen since January when the opponent group began attacks on shipping in the oceans. According to Houthis, those attacks target shipping linked to Israel and are supporting Palestinians in Gaza.
On July 12, former U.S. government officials warned that U.S. arms shipments to Israel were making the country more complicit in destroying Gaza.
Officials said that ‘America has supported Israel with democratic backing and sent weapons as much as they need which has led to the deaths of millions of people in Gaza and has become the cause of starvation in Gaza. However, why they are doing this, is a question? They are responsible for it or not. Further research is being carried out on it.
Although President Biden has sometimes expressed concern about how Israel is handling the war and briefly stopped sending some heavy bombs in May, he has strongly supported Israel’s military actions and has not placed conditions on US military aid. “No administration has helped Israel more than I have,” the president said on October 4.
