Since Israel's founding in 1948, it has received $158 billion in military aid from the United States, making it the greatest recipient in history.[32][33]
Following Israel's victory over surrounding Arab forces in 1967 and its subsequent occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza, military assistance to the country surged significantly.
Iron Dome, which became operational in 2011, was created with the help of the United States, which is responsible for providing components for the system, including allocating more than $1.5 billion for missile defense for Israel in 2022.[34]
As part of a record $38 billion agreement over ten years negotiated under former US President Barack Obama in 2016, US military aid to Israel exceeded $3.8 billion in 2023.
Of the $3.8 billion in military aid given to Israel this year, half a billion was for Israel's missile defense.
Washington has announced that it will replenish Israel's ammunition used in the recent war against Hamas.[34]
