A new academic study reveals that the United States has provided at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel since the start of the Gaza war two years ago. The report, released on the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attacks, highlights that this assistance was crucial for Israel's ongoing campaign against Hamas in Gaza. Additional research estimates that the United States has spent nearly $10 billion more on security aid and military operations across the broader Middle East during the same period. The findings, based on open source data, also project tens of billions of dollars in future funding for Israel under existing agreements.
