U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel for Fiscal Year 2016 (FY’16)

Supporting Continued Security Assistance to Israel

Israel is America’s closest ally in the Middle East. To help Israel maintain a strong military, the United States provides it with security assistance as part of the overall foreign aid bill and the defense appropriations bill. This vital aid, most of which Israel spends in the United States, is the most tangible expression of American support for the Jewish state.
