[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't Trump demanding some kind of repayment deal from Israel the way he did to Ukraine?[/quote]

You really think they would give us more than 20 billion back? How are they going to continue having free healthcare then?[/quote]

It’s more than $20B. Way more.

Over the last decade (2015–2025), the United States has provided Israel with approximately [b]$70–80 billion[/b] in financial aid, primarily focused on military assistance. This figure includes:

- Foreign Military Financing (FMF): Around $45.4 billion, with an annual allocation of approximately $3.8 billion under the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) covering fiscal years 2019–2028. This MOU commits $33 billion in FMF grants and an additional $5 billion for missile defense programs over the decade.
- Missile Defense Funding: Approximately $6–7 billion, supporting systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow programs. This includes $500 million annually for joint U.S.-Israel missile defense projects as part of the 2016 MOU, plus additional appropriations.
- Supplemental Aid: A significant $26.38 billion in supplemental funding, notably a $14.3 billion emergency aid package passed in April 2024 following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and additional allocations like the $4 billion expedited by the Trump administration in 2025.
- Other Costs: A Brown University report estimates at least $17.9 billion in military aid since October 7, 2023, alone, including arms sales, stockpile drawdowns, and munitions like 2,000-pound bombs. This figure is considered incomplete due to limited transparency.

FYI this money is spent on US defense contractors. US is the world's largest war profiteer. [/quote]
