The US has delivered 90,000 tons of bombs, guns, and
other military equipment to Israel since October 7, 2023, to support the
genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to numbers from the
Israeli Defense Ministry.
The Defense Ministry said Tuesday that the 800th plane
carrying US weapons arrived in Israel in the morning, and 140 ships have also
delivered US equipment in the nearly 600 days since October 7.
The ministry stated that the military equipment has
included “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear,
and medical supplies” and that the US support is “a significant component” in
ensuring the Israeli military can continue the slaughter in Gaza.
Israeli military officials have previously said that
without US military support, Israel wouldn’t be able to sustain operations in
Gaza for more than a few months. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last week that without US backing, Israel wouldn’t be able to
achieve its goals in Gaza, which include the complete destruction of the
territory and the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
population.
US deliveries to Israel continue despite reports of
friction between President Trump and Netanyahu. While Trump has claimed he
wants to see a ceasefire in Gaza, there’s no indication that he is willing to
force Israel to agree to a deal with Hamas by leveraging military aid.
Meanwhile, daily Israeli atrocities in Gaza continue, which have taken a huge toll
on women and children. Gaza’s Health Ministry recently published a list of the names of 16,506 children that the US has helped
Israel kill in Gaza, a number that’s likely a significant undercount.
