US direct military aid to Israel has reached about $17 billion, a recent French report revealed. The report, from the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs and shared by Réseau International, also indicated that US brutal and criminal aggression on Yemen cost around $4.86 billion.
It highlighted the massive US aid to Israel, indicating that the relationship between the US, Israeli entity is bound by an unwavering military alliance, despite countless criticisms.
The report noted that between October 7, 2023, and September 30, 2024, US military aid to Israel totaled at least $22.76 billion, with a staggering $251 billion in aid delivered over 66 years. While most aid is already delivered, $5.2 billion is expected next year.
Support to Israel includes equipment, munitions, and logistical assistance, funding roughly 70 percent of its war effort.
The Pentagon has updated timelines for future deliveries, with certain systems projected for 2026 and 2029. It confirmed that Israel is the country that has received the largest amount of US aid since World War II, totaling $251.2 billion over 66 years.
The report emphasized that the Biden administration’s aid in the past year is the highest in US-Israel relations, surpassing previous records by 25 percent.
The US administration has maintained its military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza, authorizing the transfer of thousands of bombs and other munitions since Oct. 7.
Israel launched the war on the coastal sliver on October 7 after Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise retaliatory operation into the occupied territories.
Concomitantly with the war, the regime has been enforcing a near-total siege on Gaza, which has reduced the flow of foodstuffs, medicine, electricity, and water into the Palestinian territory into a trickle. Earlier, the United Nations warned that in the absence of any changes in the war, the coastal sliver was on course to experience all-out famine.
So far during the military onslaught, the regime has killed more than 43,000 Gazans, most of them women, children, and adolescents.
