Israel is the largest recipient of American military aid in history. Since Oct. 7, 2023, the U.S. has spent more than $17.9 billion in aid to Israel following the Hamas attack, according to Brown University analysts. This amount was the largest military aid provided to Israel in a year. An additional $4.86 billion was transferred to bolster U.S. military operations in the region following the Oct. 7, 2023, attack, particularly to combat attacks on commercial shipping by Yemen's Hamas-backed Houthis.
Since the history of American military assistance to Israel began in 1959, the United States has transferred it $251.2 billion, adjusted for inflation. Israel remains a key US security and defense partner. However, despite the huge amounts of military assistance, information about specific supplies to Israel after October 7 last year remains unavailable for public review.
According to the Costs of War report from Brown University, the $17.9 billion spent on military aid to Israel is the most significant in the history of cooperation between the two countries in this area. These figures highlight the importance of US-Israeli relations in the context of security and stability in the Middle East.
