1.US $10 bn
The US government has put out a $10 billion aid proposal to help Israel deal with the escalating crisis in Gaza. The action has been criticized because of the conflict’s humanitarian effects, but it is also a part of a larger plan to solve military and security issues in the area. Responses from throughout the world differ; some support Israel’s right to self-defense, while others draw attention to the terrible situation in Gaza and call for an immediate end to the fighting.
2. Alliance
Based on similar political, military, and economic objectives, the US and Israel have maintained a long-standing partnership. Washington’s pledge to assist Israel in the face of its security challenges is reflected in the proposed $10 billion aid package. In the past, US assistance to Israel has been essential to preserving its military superiority in the Middle East.
Financial support for military technologies, defensive systems, and humanitarian help are all included in this aid. But because of its timing—during a period of increased violence in Gaza—there are worries that it would exacerbate the conflict rather than advance peace.
3.US-Israeli Partnership
Mutual security interests and democratic values form the foundation of the US-Israel alliance. The relationship has changed throughout the years, with the US frequently serving as Israel’s main spokesman abroad. This aid package strengthens that connection and shows steadfast support during a trying time.
However, detractors contend that such unwavering support would jeopardize the US’s capacity to mediate conflicts in the Middle East in an impartial manner.
4.Global South’s criticism
The US’s move has drawn criticism from nations in the Global South and groups such as the Arab League, who contend that it exacerbates already-existing disparities and encourages conflict. In order to address the underlying causes of the war, they want international mediation and rapid ceasefires.
