The United States has allocated $3.5 billion in military aid to Israel.

Israel will receive $3.5 billion in aid from the United States to buy American weapons. According to Reuters, the US State Department announced that it had provided this amount to Israel for the purchase of weapons and military equipment. This aid was approved by Congress in April as part of a large financial package that included aid for Ukraine. The entire funding package envisaged $14 billion for Israel.

A State Department spokesman said Congress had been briefed on the administration's intention to provide the aid to Israel. The announcement of aid to Israel comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East and an expected attack by Iran and its proxies in Lebanon in retaliation for the missile strike that killed a Hamas leader in Iran.

The US has sent F-22 fighter jets to the Middle East to prevent possible escalation of violence in the region. According to Politico, Iran may decide not to carry out a large-scale attack on Israel. (August 7, 2024, 23:55 • 35698 views)
