Inside The $21 Billion War Machine: How US Dollars Keep Israeli Wars Raging Across Middle East | World News
Cairo (Egypt): Israel’s wars against Gaza, Lebanon and Iran could not continue without the USA. According to twin reports from the War Project Costs at the University of Brown, Washington since October 2023, Tel has provided more than $ 21 billion of military aid, weapons and support to Tel Aviv.
Reports clearly reveal that Israel could not continue its war in Gaza without this financial and logistics support, that attacks on Iran cannot start attacks on Iran or that it cannot conduct repeated strikes in Yemen.
Experts say that the US support for Israel at all levels is indispensable for the prosecution of both the Gaza and the region.

Israel’s strikes in Gaza since only October 2023 have killed at least 67,160 people and wounded 169,679. While thousands of rubbles were stuck, air strikes killed more than 1,000 people in Yemen and dozens of Iran.
Israel needs financing us to charge the war
The conflict began two years ago when an attack led by Hamas killed 1,139 Israelis and captured more than 200. Israel responded with destructive force. Gaza was bombed. The West Bank and Jerusalem frequently saw raids. Lebanon suffered more than 4,000 losses and all villages were destroyed.
The Israeli forces invaded Lebanon and Syrian territory, bombed Iran’s Consulate of Damascus, and entered a 12 -day war with Tehran. Yemen’s attacks on Houthis also watched.
Researchers emphasize that these campaigns will be impossible without American support.
“Considering the scale of existing and future expenditures, it is clear that they cannot do the damage they have done in Gaza (the Israeli army) in Gaza, or that they do not raise their military activities in the region without US financing, weapons and political support.”
The report was published with the war costs project. The Quincy Institute moves US foreign policy from eternal wars to diplomacy and restriction.
A report of Linda J Biles from the Harvard Kennedy School estimates that the US has spent military aids and operations in the region between 31.35 billion dollars and $ 33.77 billion to Israel.
“Israel needs US arms to do what he has done. He left an excessive amount of regulations in Gaza and elsewhere. He produces certain weapons and technology, but does not produce bombs, so he could not drop these bombs without the USA.”
Bilateral support
The US support of Israel has not changed for a long time. Israel is the largest annual and cumulative recipient of US foreign aid, which receives more than $ 3.3 billion dollars a year and more than $ 150 billion by 2022.
Hartung emphasizes that both Biden and Trump administrations have made tens of billions of arms sales agreements. Many payments will continue for years.
“(This) Bilateral Support… The serial violation of international law has allowed almost all its existence without being questioned in the political and social mainstream with the support of the Democratic West,” he said.
However, the American public opinion began to change. Academicians gradually defined Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide. A recent Washington Post questionnaire said that four out of ten US Jews believe that Israel has been genocide, and more than 60 percent of Israel committed war crimes in Gaza.
Political Results
Analysts suggest that these revelations can affect future US politics.
“Some former Biden management officials may hope that they will not have to cope with it, but they live in a fantasy world,” he said.
Billions spent to support Israel were disappointed about internal priorities from Americans.
“Budgets are about priorities, but even though the Americans have the finest social security network of any modern country, we somehow find billions of dollars over billions of dollars to help Israel in various wars,” he said.
“Anyone who tries to make a household budget can see how ridiculous it is, but it also reflects the wider corruption of American politics. Not only Israel’s interests, but also most of this aid and aid is not only arms sales, but the US industrial complex that gives a lot of help to US companies.”
