U.s aid to israel

Israel is America’s strongest ally in the Middle East. The two nations are bound together not only by interests, but also by the deeply held values they share.

• Israel provides a cost-effective alternative to stationing American troops in the region. Our tax dollars maintain regional peace and stability by helping Israel respond effectively to the unprecedented military threats it—and we—face.

• Israel is a major economic and technological ally. Many American companies including Google, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, and Intel operate major research facilities in Israel, and Israel creates hundreds of thousands of jobs in America through trade, investment, and other cooperation. U.S. aid helps Israel defend itself so it can remain a valuable contributor to the American economy. 

• By 2028, Israel must spend 100% of American aid money on American defense contractors.  This spending supports well over 20,000 jobs according to recent estimates.
