This package included $4 billion to replenish the Iron Dome and David\u2019s Sling missile defense systems, $1.2 billion for the development of the Iron Beam defense system and $3.5 billion for advanced weapons systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The US has also approved arms sales worth billions of dollars, ensuring future military cooperation. In August 2024, the Biden administration\u00a0announced\u00a0a $20.3 billion arms deal with Israel, which includes 50 Boeing F-15 fighter jets and thousands of rounds of ammunition. These weapons will be delivered between 2026 and 2029, ensuring Israel\u2019s military remains strong in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Since Israel launched war on Gaza a year ago, protesters in the US and other parts of the world have called for stopping arms deliveries to the regime.\u00a0<br \/> \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tehrantimes.com\/news\/504743\/US-spends-record-amount-on-military-aid-to-Israel\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States has provided Israel with nearly $18 billion in arms since the start of Tel Aviv\u2019s brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year.
