Since 1949, the United States has provided Israel with $101 billion in total military and economic aid. For the last 20-plus years, Israel has received an average of $3 billion annually in grant aid, but until now the grant has been a mix of economic and military aid.
Israel receives its aid under vastly more favorable terms than any other recipient. Egypt, for instance, receives $2 billion a year in economic aid, but this is a loan and must be repaid. Saudi Arabia also uses some U.S. military equipment, but this is bought and paid for, not given to the Saudis as it is to Israel.
