This is reassuring news. I guess the idea of “balancing the power” of Iran and Israel made this deal ok in some minds.
This shows that Hillary’s poll numbers with American Jews is also trending down. As a Jew I’m laughing. Hope Bibi drove a hard bargain.
10 years? Should a lame duck POTUS promise such a thing?
Exactly. They’ll never deliver on any of it, but right now they need a photo op.
"The Obama administration had been holding off on signing the deal until Congress reduced its funding to meet Obama’s proposed levels, but Congress refused to do so. So the administration pressed Israel to promise not to lobby for additional money. Israel agreed, but that wasn’t enough.
In an unprecedented arrangement, the White House and the Israeli government have found a way to prevent Congress from increasing U.S. aid for 2017 and 2018."

For the life of me, I have no idea what is going on here.
Obama signed on to this? What’s he got up his sleeve?
Is there something about to go down, where he’ll need to point to this and say he was a friend of Israel back when?
Netanyahu needs to be on his toes like never before IMO.
RIGHT NOW!
With certain military movements in the area, it makes me wonder if Obama knows something is going to happen before $! dollar of that aid is spent.
Congress authorizes such agreements, and they are always subject to review and further action. The details will reveal this is mostly to benefit American defense contractors.
See my post above yours. It is a Obama scam. He is promising LESS than Congress would want to give.
Not in this case. Obama made them sign a letter promising not to take more money from Congress.
Orwellian doublespeak..
I noticed your post, and that sounds about right. I wouldn’t doubt that at all.

The only thing that makes sense to me is Obama or his thugs threatened Israel in some way.
No kidding. Joseph is still alive. Yeah I know, can't be. Looks like an Egyptian, speaks like an Egyptian, is dressed like an Egyptian, who would think.
Exactly. How to hide the House of Joseph in plain sight, dress him in a multi-striped tunic, and surround him with a bunch of aliens.
Many more details at Jerusalem Post:
...The deal incorporates several budget lines that have previously been negotiated and approved by the United States Congress each year, and requires Israel to abide by these terms over the course of the next decade, through 2029, without further lobbying of the US legislature for additional funds...
I have become recently aware that much of the modern functions of government are to grease the nipples for modern government teat suckers. (Various industries who are positioned to do this.)
Now if the government is recklessly spending money on stuff, I would prefer it be defense related, but I would prefer the government didn't spend more than it took in, regardless of the stated purpose of the spending.
Precisely.
He is betting that Israel will not need it due to it ceasing to exist.
In the meanwhile, he looks like a hero.
Look what he has done for global islam… let alone Iran.
It’s in the tube!
Quite honestly, increasing Israeli defense aid by less than $1B annually while giving Iran $17B (as a starting point) is not a win.
They should of just promised 7 to get this show on the road.
