Most of the US aid to Israel-—approximately $3.3 billion a year-—is provided as grants under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program.

In October 2023, the Joe Biden administration said Israel had nearly six hundred active Foreign Military Financing (FMF) cases, totalling around $24 billion.

Israel has also historically been permitted to use a portion of its FMF aid to buy equipment
from irs own Israeli defense firms—a benefit not granted to other recipients of U.S. military aid.

US aid reportedly accounts for some 15 percent of Israel’s defense budget. Israel, like many other countries, also buys U.S. military products outside of the Foreign Military Financing program.

In other instances, when Israel’s borrowed US funds came due,
Israel got the US Congress to convert the “loans” into “gifts.”
