President Biden has halted the shipment of bombs to Israel to prevent their use in the assault on the city of Rafah. The United States has been the main weapons supplier to Israel, with a surge in deliveries following Hamas-led attacks on Oct. 7. The lack of transparency regarding the sales has drawn criticism, with reports revealing a vast array of weaponry sent to Israel, including air defense systems, precision-guided munitions, artillery shells, and more. The military aid to Israel is funded through a 2016 agreement committing the U.S. to provide $38 billion in weapons over 10 years, with an additional $15 billion aid package recently signed by President Biden. Overall, U.S. military aid to Israel since its founding in 1948 has totaled $216 billion, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
