The Zionist regime, with the support of the Westerners, commits new crimes every day.

Since the beginning of the Zionist regime’s deadly bombings against the Palestinian nation on October 7, 2023, and then the crimes of the Zionists in Lebanon, the United States has remained one of the biggest financial, political and arms supporters of this regime, and on the surface calls for a ceasefire, but in practice, it does nothing for Stopping the violence and forcing Tel Aviv to end the war will not happen.

Washington has been the biggest supporter of terrorist Zionists for decades, providing them with money, military equipment and technical know-how.

According to a new study, the United States has provided at least $19.9 billion in military aid to Tel Aviv since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip. The report states that the Zionist regime is the largest recipient of US military aid in history and has received $251.12 billion since 1959, adjusting for inflation in these years.

This report, which was completed before the opening of the second front of the Zionist regime against Hezbollah in Lebanon, is one of the first reports of the estimated costs of the United States to support the Zionists in the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.

In the shadow of Washington’s blind support, the Zionist regime has extended its crimes to Lebanon and killed thousands of people. Lebanese authorities announced that since the end of September, at least 1,645 people have been killed in Lebanon, including civilians and medical personnel, and 1.2 million people have been driven from their homes. Also, for the umpteenth time in the last few days, the Israeli army fired at the headquarters of the UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, killing several people and injuring several others.
