The US has spent a record of at least $26.7 billion on military aid to Israel since the war in Gaza began.
The US has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk losing access to weapons funding.

Israel’s retaliatory offensive since the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas has killed more than 42,000 people in Gaza, according to the territory’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count. The Hamas attacks that launched the war killed some 1200 people, mostly civilians, and militants abducted another 250.
Palestinian health officials said at least 17 people were killed by Israeli fire near Al-Falouja in Jabalia, the largest of Gaza’s eight historic refugee camps, while 10 others were killed in Bani Suhaila in eastern Khan Younis in the south when an Israeli missile struck a house.
