US to provide $3.5 billion as additional military aid to Israel war on Gaza

The United States is set to provide an additional $3.5 billion to Israel for purchasing US-made weapons and military equipment, as the Gaza conflict continues into its 10th month, amid allegations of widespread Israeli military abuses in the occupied Palestinian territory.

The funding is reportedly part of a larger 14.1 billion USD supplemental bill approved by Congress in April



2024. It is aimed at bolstering Israel’s defense capabilities during its aggression in war-torn Gaza and other occupied territories of Palestine.

Since the onset of the war between Israel and Hamas and the escalating tension in the Middle East, the US has significantly increased its military support for Israel, which has included expedited delivery of weapons and military equipment.
