US Provides $22 Billion to Israel, Allocates $150M for Propaganda Amid Gaza War
Jan 1, 2025, 01:00 AM
The United States has provided over $22 billion in military aid to Israel since October 7, 2023, supporting its military operations in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. This aid includes advanced weaponry such as Iron Dome missiles, precision-guided bombs, Apache helicopters, and bunker-busting munitions. The U.S. has also transported over 50,000 tons of weapons to Israel by August 2024. This military support is part of a long-standing alliance, with the U.S. supplying 78% of Israel's arms during the ongoing conflict. A report by Brown University highlights that 45,541 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war. Additionally, the U.S. and Israel are bound by a 10-year, $38 billion military aid agreement signed in 2016. Israel has allocated $150 million for its 2025 budget to enhance global propaganda efforts, known as hasbara, aimed at reshaping public opinion about its military actions. This represents a 20-fold increase in funding compared to previous years.
