"The U.S. has spent over $30 billion supporting the Israeli military and conducting war across the Middle East over the first two years of Israel's genocide in Gaza - a genocide only made possible by the U.S.'s financial support, a new report concludes. Brown University's Costs of War project released a series of reports on the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attack, finding that the U.S. has sent at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel between October 2023 and September 2025."
"This record-breaking amount of aid is just the "tip of the iceberg," with replenishments like Israel's access to U.S. weapons stockpiles in the Middle East likely not included in publicly reported totals. The total doesn't include weapons shipments that were never publicly disclosed or that have been pledged, but not yet sent. In 2024, for instance, the Biden administration approved a $20 billion sale of weapons to Israel that would maintain a flow of weapons and military equipment to Israel as far out as 2029."
The U.S. spent over $30 billion supporting the Israeli military and conducting wars across the Middle East during the first two years of the Gaza genocide. At least $21.7 billion in direct military aid was sent between October 2023 and September 2025. Numerous replenishments and Israel's access to U.S. weapons stockpiles are likely omitted from public totals, and undisclosed shipments or pledged but unsent weapons are excluded. A 2024 approval of a $20 billion weapons sale would extend weapons flows through 2029. The State Department shows 751 Foreign Military Sales related to Israel totaling $39.2 billion as of April 2025, and U.S. military operations supporting Israel cost between $9.7 and $12.1 billion.
