More financial help than before
In April, the US Parliament announced a $14.5 billion aid to help Israel. This supplementary budget is more than the annual US military aid given to Israel. Earlier, $3 billion was given as financial aid to spend on weapons and military equipment. A portion of the new financial aid will go to the Israeli military, which is accused of violating human rights against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Allegations of human rights violations
The Israeli military has been accused of several human rights violations against Palestinians in both Gaza and the occupied West Bank. It is alleged that they have indiscriminately killed civilians by attacking homes, hospitals and schools. Along with this, torturing prisoners and not giving food and water to hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians.
Economic help to Ukraine too

The US is sending an additional US$125 million worth of weapons to Ukraine, including much-needed air defense capabilities, radars to detect and counter enemy artillery, and anti-tank weapons. The White House itself has given this information.
