THE United States has spent at least $17.9 billion (£14bn) on military aid to Israel since the war in Gaza began, a record, according to a report for Brown University’s Costs of War project, released today.
The report on the level of US military aid comes as events were held in Israel and in other countries today to mark the anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel.
An additional $4.86bn (£3.8bn) has gone into stepped-up US military operations in the region since the October 7 attacks, researchers said in their findings.
