That's about 8-9% of their GDP per year. Probably gonna be a lot more expensive if the US cuts direct military support. Anyone could chime in with how sustainable this is?

You mean the Polio Vaccine Genocide? The 'genocide' during which the population of Gaza grew 4%?

You guys are pathetic.

Not as pathetic as you when you blantingly deny the existence of an ongoing Genocide.
