Watan-Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza—widely described by human rights groups as a genocide—is being massively supported by the United States, according to documents revealed Tuesday by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Official documents from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers indicate that the U.S. is investing hundreds of millions of dollars to build and upgrade military infrastructure in Israel. This includes new facilities for Israeli Air Force refueling planes and helicopters, a new headquarters for Israel’s elite naval commando unit, and a wide array of other military projects.
Current projects under the U.S. military aid program are valued at over $250 million, and future projects could exceed $1 billion. In total, the U.S. is reportedly building 20 military sites in Israel, with a combined value of $1.5 billion.
Haaretz noted that these funds come on top of the annual $3.8 billion Israel receives in military aid under the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Obama administration (covering 2019–2028). In fact, the war in Gaza has triggered unprecedented supplemental U.S. aid, with Washington delivering an additional $18 billion worth of weapons by September 2024.
In January 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an emergency aid package worth $26 billion, including $4 billion for missile interception systems. Meanwhile, a $900 million construction tender is being finalized and expected to be launched in July 2025, further cementing U.S. military involvement.
These revelations contrast sharply with Washington’s claimed neutrality in indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas. The scale of U.S. involvement raises serious ethical and geopolitical concerns—especially as the Biden administration insists it wants to end the violence in Gaza, yet continues to arm and build up the military responsible for it.
In conclusion, while the U.S. portrays itself as a mediator for peace, it is simultaneously deepening its entanglement in the very war it claims to want to stop—one increasingly condemned on the world stage as a war of annihilation.
