## List

Military aid was coordinated throughout the war, at monthly meetings of Israel's Defense Coordination Group. The US has been a major contributor to Israel providing significant military aid.

### United States

On October 7, 2023, hours after the start of the Gaza war, the United States started sending warships and warplanes into the region, prepared to give Israel whatever it needs. Israel asked the United States for Iron Dome interceptors, and President Joe Biden said Washington would quickly provide additional equipment and resources, including ammunition, which are going to reach Israel within days. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington would provide its "full support" to Israel, with guided missile launchers and F-35 fighter jets among the equipment being sent. On October 12, Biden administration started preparing an aid package of about $2 billion in additional funding to support Israel. On October 14, the Pentagon had dispatched a small team of Special Operations personnel to Israel for intelligence gathering. On October 15, the White House declared that it would attempt to get congressional approval of a fresh $2 billion weaponry aid package for Israel and Ukraine. By October 17, five shipments of American weapons and equipment had arrived in Israel. On October 20, Biden announced that the additional funds he asked Congress to authorize would come to a total of $14 billion, as part of a $105 billion military aid package that addressed Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel as well as US border security.
In November, a Republican plan was approved by the United States House of Representatives that allocated $14.5 billion in military aid for Israel.
By December US had supplied 15,000 bombs and 57,000 155mm artillery shells, mostly carried on C-17 military cargo planes. U.S. has also sent more than 5,000 unguided Mk82 bombs, more than 5,400 Mk84 bombs, about 1,000 small diameter GBU-39 bombs. On December 8, Biden used emergency authority to skip congressional review to sell ~14,000 tank shells worth $106.5 million for immediate delivery to Israel. On December 29, the United States government again used emergency authority to sell Israel artillery shells and related weapons worth 147.5 million dollars in order to replenish Israeli weapons stockpiles.
In February the Senate passed a $14 billion USD aid package for Israel.
By March US had approved more than 100 arms sales to Israel. On 30 March, the White House authorized $2.5 billion in weapons transfers to Israel.
In April, Biden signed a $95bn security package which included around $17bn in military aid for Israel.
On 16 May, Biden notified Congress about a $1 billion arms sale to Israel. On 21 May, the U.S. House passed legislation that would slash the U.S. military budget unless Biden sent 3,500 heavy-duty bombs to Israel.
In June, the United States officially signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance, allowing Israel to purchase 25 additional F-35 stealth fighter jets for $3 billion dollars. Also in June, Rep. Gregory Meeks and Sen. Ben Cardin signed off to an arms sale to Israel totaling $18 billion, after pressure from the Biden administration.

#### Local support

A June 2024 poll shows that about 70 percent of Democrats and 35 percent of Republicans support conditions on military aid to Israel, but the disconnect between what voters want and what the Biden administration is doing seems to be widening by the time. In July 2024, United States resumed shipments of the 500-pound bombs, which were halted in February over concerns about the humanitarian impact of Israel's use of them in killing Palestinians in Gaza. On 9 August 2024, the Department of State said the United States would send Israel an additional $3.5 billion to spend on US-made weapons and military equipment. On 13 August 2024, the Department of State announced that the U.S. had approved a $20 billion weapons package sale to Israel, which included fighter jets and advanced air-to-air missiles.

### Germany

Germany is one of the major arms suppliers to Israel. It supplied 326.5 million euros ($353.7m) in equipment and weapons to Israel in 2023. The Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, decided to send two IAI Heron TP type UAVs of the German Army. It was also announced that Germany would supply about ten thousand tank shells to Israel. According to the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Germany supplies components of air defense systems and communication equipment to Israel. The arms exported included 3,000 portable anti-tank weapons and 500,000 rounds of ammunition for automatic or semi-automatic firearms. Most of the export licenses were granted for land vehicles and technology for the development, assembly, maintenance, and repair of weapons. In September 2024, a Reuters report found that arms exports to Israel from Germany had slowed in 2024, due to legal challenges. In October 2024, however, data from the German Foreign Ministry showed it had authorized $100 million in military exports in the prior three months.

### United Kingdom

Israel used British-supplied weapons in the war. 15% of the components of each Israeli-owned F-35 fighter jet are made by British companies, including BAE Systems. According to the Campaign Against Arms Trade, the UK has granted arms export licences to Israel amounting to £574 million ($727 million) since 2008, including £42 million ($53 million) in 2022.

### France

In late October 2023, 100,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition were supplied to Israel by France.

### India

India has reportedly been exporting rockets, drones like Elbit Hermes 900, explosives and other military equipment to Israel during the Gaza war. A cargo ship, laden with over 30 tons of such supplies intended for the Israeli Defense Forces, was reported off the coast of Spain. This ship, which had set sail from southeastern India, was en route to Ashdod. However, Spain refused to give the ship a port call.

### Canada

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in late January 2024 that Canada had authorized military exports to Israel in the early stage of the Israel–Hamas war and the government approved at least $21 million in new licenses for military exports to Israel in the early months of the war. Canada has not approved any additional exports since January 2024. Some of the products sold include bombs, torpedoes, rockets, other explosive devices and charges, and related equipment and accessories. In August 2024, the United States agreed to a $20 billion arms sale to Israel, which included $60 million worth of Canadian-manufactured munitions.

### Italy

From October to December 2023, Italy had exported €2.1 million ($2.30 million) in weaponry and ammunition to Israel.

### Serbia

By September 2024, Serbia's state-owned arms trader had sold €23 million worth of weapons to Israel.

### Netherlands

The Netherlands initially allowed the export of parts for the F-35, but a Dutch court ruling later banned all such exports. It was subsequently reported that Dutch-made parts continued to arrive in Israel via the United States.
