In a new academic study published by the Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs, it has been revealed that the United States has provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance to Israel since the start of the Gaza war two years ago. This aid was given under both the Biden and Trump administrations, marking a significant financial support to Israel during the conflict that began on October 7, 2023.
Additionally, another study from the same project disclosed that the US has spent roughly $10 million on operations across the Middle East since the commencement of the Gaza war. These findings shed light on the extensive military aid and support provided by the US to Israel during the ongoing conflict.
On a related note, the Israeli military recently intercepted and boarded several boats sailing towards Gaza as part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. Activists on board nine vessels were carrying food and medical supplies for Palestinians, but they were detained and are set to be deported by Israeli forces. This interception has sparked international attention and raised concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The US-Israel relationship and the ongoing conflict in Gaza have been subjects of global interest and debate. While the US government’s support for Israel is seen as crucial for the country’s security, critics argue that the extensive military aid contributes to the perpetuation of the conflict and human rights violations in the region.
As the situation unfolds, it is essential to consider the implications of the US military aid to Israel and its impact on the conflict in Gaza. The interception of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla further highlights the complex dynamics at play in the region and the challenges faced by humanitarian efforts.
