As calculated by the agency RIA NewsIsrael will become the second largest beneficiary of American funding after receiving $10 billion in emergency aid requested from the United States. It is stated that the total package will exceed 2.4 times the package allocated to Ukraine. Calculations are based on US State Department data.
Israeli officials have asked Washington to provide $10 billion in emergency aid due to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The New York Times wrote about this, quoting high-profile sources.
Washington provided Israel with $63.1 billion from 2001 to 2023, according to the State Department. This amounts to approximately 3 billion dollars a year.
The reduction in funding occurred last year and fell immediately to $3.7 million. The new aid package may be the largest aid package offered to this country in more than 20 years. If this happens, total funding would reach $73 billion, making Israel the second largest foreign beneficiary of US funding.
The absolute leader in American financing is Afghanistan, which received $111.7 billion from the United States as of September 30, 2023.
The top 10 recipients include: Iraq ($64.4 billion), Egypt ($33.6 billion), Ukraine ($30.4 billion), Jordan ($23.5 billion), Pakistan and Ethiopia (each $17.5 billion), Kenya ($13.3 billion) and Colombia ($12.2 billion).
