US Foreign Aid to Israel

US Foreign Aid to Israel

Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. From
1976-2004, Israel was the largest annual recipient of U.S. foreign assistance, having been
supplanted by Iraq. Since 1985, the United States has provided nearly $3 billion in grants
annually to Israel.

This Congressional Research Service report provides a useful overview of official US aid to Israel but does not address tax subsidies and other privileges extended to the Jewish state. http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/134987.pdf
