has spent over $22 billion to support Israel since October 7, 2023. This aid includes the provision of advanced weaponry such as Iron Dome missiles, precision-guided bombs, Apache helicopters, bunker-buster bombs, and armored vehicles. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reports that 78% of Israel’s required weaponry in 2023 was supplied by the U.S
.Based on this report, by the end of 2023, over 10,000 tons of weapons worth $2.4 billion were sent to Israel, with this figure reaching 50,000 tons by 2024. Furthermore, the United States has entered into more than 100 arms agreements with Israel this year, facilitating the enhancement of missile defense systems and the replenishment of Israel’s military arsenal.
Despite ongoing criticisms from human rights organizations about the use of these weapons in attacks on civilian areas in Gaza and Lebanon, this aid has continued to be provided.
Human rights activists have emphasized that the limited oversight by the U.S. on the use of this equipment has led to widespread civilian casualties.
