US military aid to Israel continues three years into Gaza genocide

US military aid and arms transfer continue unchanged, as US public sentiment shifts. Save Share Washington, DC –Three years into Israel’sgenocidal warin Gaza, little has changed in terms of official US support. The government in Washington, under former President Joe Biden and current President Donald Trump, has continued near-complete unconditional military aid to Israel since October 7, 2023, even as the region has exploded into wider conflict, including the US-Israeli war with Iran. The US aid has persisted even through periods when the administrations offered tame criticism of the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’smilitary offensivein Gaza, repeated violations of a “ceasefire” reached last year, and roadblocks to a morelasting peacein the Palestinian enclave and wider region. To date, at least 74,243 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel, which killed at least 1,139 people. At least 1,460 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the October 11, 2025 ceasefire went into effect as Israel has continued toexpandits area of control. “The bottom line is that under both the Biden administration and the Trump administration, the US has continued to provide unconditional support for Israel, both in terms of finances, arms transfers and other forms, such as diplomatic support,” according to former Department of State official Josh Paul, who now runs A New Policy lobbying firm. “That’s before we start adding in the costs of America’s wars in the region, whose causes are greatly attributable to our support for Israel and to Israel’s actions,” he said. The United States has for decades offered Israel outsized military support and preferential access to US weapons, with Washington providingnearly $300bnin aid since its creation in 1948 when adjusted for inflation, more than any other country. Washington has repeatedly codified support for Israel, most notably through a 2008 law that requires the US government to assure Israel maintains a so-calledQualitative Military Edge(QME) over its neighbours. Because of that, Israel’s military remains deeply intertwined with the US government and US-made weapons, upon which it relies for its air force, several of its most devastating munitions, tanks and other military vehicles, as well as its Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Iron Beamair defence systems....
