Despite her comments opposing “settlements”, U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice promised Israel that the new military aid agreement between the two countries that is currently being negotiated will constitute “the single largest military assistance package — with any country — in American history,” Haaretz reported Tuesday.
The comments came during Rice’s address on Monday to the American Jewish Committee Global Forum in Washington.
She said the new decade-long aid package, which is expected to provide Israel somewhere between $37.5 billion and $40 billion over the life of the pact, will “constitute a significant increase in support,” providing funding to update Israel’s aircraft fleet and strengthen missile defenses.
Hinting at the polarized views on Israeli policy among the U.S. presidential candidates, Rice said that “Israel’s security isn’t a Democratic interest or a Republican interest—it’s an enduring American interest,” according to Haaretz.
The current defense agreement between Israel and the United States remains in force until 2018, and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been urged to accept President Barack Obama’s 10-year military aid package which reportedly include a total of $145.8 million for Israeli missile defense programs, a sharp drop in financial support.
A total of $3 billion in defense aid is given annually, but Netanyahu has asked for an increase to $5 billion annually, in light of the greater need for security due to the growing Iranian threat after the nuclear deal.

No. OK? I don't care what Bibi says. If I were PM, the answer would be no to all aid, and especially the largest aid package to any country in American history. There's a major catch, and that's that we sit down and surrender to the Palis. You got my birthday wrong. I was born the day BEFORE yesterday, and this is not kosher.
This administration is despicable and their hatred of Israel is not hidden nor is their ajenda to create another terrorist state . Any land turned over to the fake palestinian murderers just endangers Israel more and more each time it is done .
This is nothing more than attempted vote buying here in the states so that they can tell Americans that they support Israel .
Too little too late Suzy!
Da Juice only speak Russian now!
Well, since we helped the Iranians develop the nuclear weapons with which they’ve openly stated their intention of destroying Israel, it seems only fair we kick in something to the Israelis.
What, like iodine tablets? I certainly wouldnt put it past this administration.
Yeah, Suzy Q is going to be offering free Zyklon-B air fresheners for every Israeli home.
What a gal.
Pure bullshittie.
They don’t mean a word of it, but ARE trying to “buy” Jewish votes here, NY Times publicity in Miami and LA and NYC, AND make it appear to conservative maybe-Trump voters that they will aid Israel.
But ... The aid package will require Israel go back to the 1948 borders, right?
Hopefully this will consist of battle weapons, ammunition, advanced weapons systems and so on... but, yes, I see your point.
Now they cover it all up with artificial sweeteners.
They're selling Israel stuff she'll need to fight her way out of a corner after being put there by President Obama.
Absolutely not yet delivered. This the new decade-long aid package is being “negotiated”. There is no way that this pResident is going to give Israel any weapons unless they are delivered by her enemies. Somebody is pandering for the American Jewish Vote!
Exactly.
And with en election coming up, they hope Jewish voters will forget.
Don't fall for it, Israel.

If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

1947 borders decreed by the UN, even.
