WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States under the Biden and Trump administrations has provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance to Israel since the start of the Gaza war two years ago, according to a new academic study published Tuesday, the second anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel that provoked the conflict.

Another study, also published by the Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs, says the U.S. has spent roughly $10 billion more on security aid and operations in the broader Middle East in the past two years.

While the reports rely on open source material for most of their findings, they offer some of the most comprehensive accountings of U.S. military aid to close ally Israel and estimated costs of direct American military involvement in the Middle East.

The reports, which are sharply critical of Israel, say that without the U.S. assistance, Israel would not have been able to sustain its concerted campaign against Hamas in Gaza. They note that tens of billions of dollars in future funding for Israel is projected under various bilateral agreements.

The main report says the U.S. provided $17.9 billion to Israel in the first year of the war — when Democratic President Joe Biden was in office — and $3.8 billion in the second year. Some of the military assistance has already been delivered while the remainder will be supplied in the coming years, it said.

"U.S. provided $17.9 billion to Israel in the first year of the war — when Democratic President Joe Biden was in office — and $3.8 billion in the second year"

Israel would not have been able to sustain its concerted campaign against Hamas in Gaza. They note that tens of billions of dollars in future funding for Israel is projected under various bilateral agreements.

The Jews are well invested in what the US, and the US will continue to support them because they are the US.

That is why it is good to always get good and reliable friends instead of building enemies. Iran was busy building enemy list even within the Arab by being enemies of Saudi Arabia, Qatar etc. Can you get aid from your enemies? Good for Isreal to a reliable friend like USA.

You can help us calculate how much aids have been given to Hamas, Hezbollah and Houtis from Iran, Russia and China. Is it just to get aid or to get sufficient man power to get the work done? Hamas got aid to the extent of stockpiled weapons in the mosques, hospitals and tunnels, how many of them did Israel allow them to use before they got destroyed?Hamas got many aids, but they are cowards, they only carry guns and wear uniform for mere camouflage and run to hide inside tunnels.

Those hamas and Hezbollah tht had courge to come face to face with Israel are already queuing for 72 virgins of deceit. All the weapons, large army force and air force as well as population tht Iran were boasting off became a mere mirage when less than 3000 isrealis airforce got the work done.

All notable stockpiled of weapons and ammunition of Iran were destroyed while the Iranian airforce and army ran away from Isrealis supremacy to hide under their wives long hijabs. Isrealis air force and army defeated Hamas, Hezbollah, Houtis and Iran and then ensured they are left with mere propaganda to cover their defeat. So, it is not just about getting aid, but having man power and the backing of God's convenant on Israel to win . May God continue to bless Israel and USA for cleaning this world from Islamic terrorism that endangers our world

Yes, Jews and Christians are serving the same true God that created heaven and earth, you can see how christian pope, and America christian leaders feel free to pray at the same wailing wall cite Jews pray. Can Saudi Arabia or Iranian supreme leader do the same to pray Allah at that same cite, never; their god hate Jews and Christians.

The true God that created heaven and earth gave world power to christian nation(USA) and Jews, but one fake god (Satan in disguise) encouraged them to fight Jews and christians and warned them never to take Jews and christians as friends. If allah is the true God that created heaven and earth; and claimed to be all powerful, why will he handed over world power to the enemies you want me to fight?

Why can't Allah just give world power to Islam or any Arab nation so that hatred and fight against his enemies (Jews and christians) that don't believe in Allah and his messanger can be easy to do. Can true God contradict himself by playing hide and seek game? Giving power to my enemies and tell me to fight them?

Jesus already warned us that Satan is a notorious deceiver, he had been deceiving from the beginning. And angel of darkness can pretend to be angel of light. Jubril claiming angel Gabriel comes to mind, but with different moral behaviours. Jesus said by their fruits you will know those deceivers.

They deserve even more

They are allies

Abi Na you they should give aid to

Or Palestine/ Hamas?

Normal level na, na Hamas you wan make dem fund before, Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.

Yet there are homeless people in America, people in rural areas suffering etc

That's actually a lot.

If that protects US interests in the Middle East, then that’s a choice they have to make

And they will receive more funds from the US..

Islamic Terrorists and their Sympathizers will never know Peace...

God bless Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu and the IDF..

I Stand with Israel 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱

While homelessness is ravaging the country, and healthcare and education are now luxury’s.

37 Trillion in debt with absolutely nothing to show for it in last two decades.

They better plead with China to colonize them.

God bless Israel!

21 billion dollars is not what will make Americans to not have homeless people.
In fact homelessness in America and other developed part of the world is mostly by choice because there are homeless shelters.
The people not in homeless shelters is mostly because homeless shelters will not allow them to bring in hard drugs
Honestly the situation is very complicated and cannot be easily explained in a single nairaland comment.

Yet, not even a bullet to Nigerian Army to fight insecurity and terrorism.


Wetin even consign me with another country money sef.


Over 80% of such donations or aid would have been diverted by Nigerian leaders.

Don't ask Nairaland members for contact details (email, phone, bbpin) or

You can say that again...

Now, what has the Hamas Terrorists gained in this two Years Wars

If not deaths and destructions?

Una go cry tire. Wailers wailers.

They wouldn't sell Apache helicopters for us to fight Boko Haram yet they are now shedding crocodile teams about Christians being killed.

If blood had a price tag, Washington just paid $21.7 billion for it.

Being homeless in America is not the government fault. Most of the homeless people you see in America are junkies who does nothing other than sniff cocain

US is the so called GOD OF ISRAEL.

Israel is a paper weight and can't do anything without US backing them.

That's why Netanyahoo was shivering UK and France recognized Palestine.

It was obvious they had no other friends and backers except US and they have no option than to do whatever the US tells them to do.

Genesis 12:2-3 New International Version (NIV)
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

The us funded the genocide. They can deny all they want. A they will come the countries will account for all thier atrocities.

And the whole world have given more to GAZA which was spent in Qatar and private jets
While the little for aid is used to equip terrorists

God’s not in the business of blessing injustice. Stop hiding war behind divine slogans.
