Billions of dollars: how US provides Israel with military aid

WASHINGTON – The United States has approved the sale of tens of millions of dollars in military equipment to aid Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, and the close defense ties between the countries date back decades.

Since then, the United States has approved sales of tank and artillery munitions to Israel on two occasions late last year under an emergency provision that waives the usual congressional review. Israel's retaliatory campaign against Hamas -- in which it has employed US weapons -- has killed at least 33,037 people, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza.The "emergency" sales to Israel are in addition to regular aid -- free of charge -- that the United States has provided for decades.

Israel is the "largest cumulative recipient of US foreign assistance since World War II," and received "significant economic assistance" from 1971 to 2007, according to a 2023 report from the Congressional Research Service .
