    Due to the war, in the past two years, the United States has spent a total of roughly $32 billion to assist Israel. In the first year, under U.S. President Joe Biden, emergency support accounted for about $23 billion, covering an estimated 70% of Israel’s war-related military spending. In the second year, mostly under President Trump, aid totaled $3.8 billion, the annual amount pledged under the agreement.

    That’s just what’s been done openly. I keep thinking about slush funds, dark money, and failed or unattempted audits.
