2005 US military aid to Israel - $2.22b

The Bush administration will ask Congress to approve $2.22 billion in military aid to Israel in 2005. Israel will receive $1.96 billion in military in 2004. The increase is based on the 1996 US decision to reduce US civilian aid to Israel- then amounting to $1.2 billion - by $120 million a year while increasing military aid by $60 million a year.
Israel's procurement of F-16I combat jets is the largest item in the US military aid budget, at $4.5 billion. It is the largest arms deal in Israeli history.

Wonderful news. However, the annual cuts should be eliminated.
