US Emergency Reserves in Israel

The US Congressional report, which IsraelDefense has obtained, reveals that the US is holding military equipment in Israel, which includes missiles, armored vehicles, and artillery ammunition worth hundreds of millions of US dollars

The United States is holding emergency reserves of military equipment in Israel at a total worth of $800 million, which is expected to increase in scope in the near future and reach $1.2 billion.
These details are uncovered in the report of the US Congressional Research Service. According to the report, Israeli leaders have decided to increase “the strategic cooperation” with the US since the 1980s, inviting the US to store military equipment in Israel.
The report states that nearly a decade later, the US responded to the proposal, and transferred military equipment for storage in Israel. The equipment is intended for US use during war, and Israel may use the equipment in an emergency pending US approval.

The US command in Europe, EUCOM, is responsible for the military equipment stored in Israel. The report states that the US has stored missiles, armored vehicles, and artillery ammunition.
The report quotes “an Israeli officer” who says that all the equipment officially belongs to the US Army; however, in the event of a military conflict, the IDF can ask for permission to use some of the equipment. The report further reveals that the US approved Israeli access to the US emergency depots during the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
According to the report, the total worth of the US military equipment stored in Israel was initially worth $100 million, but its scope increased over time, reaching $800 million as of 2010. The report also states that an amendment was made to US law in 2010, which allows for increasing the worth of military equipment in Israeli emergency depots to as much as $1.2 billion.

Us Aid To Israel: 115 Billion Dollars
PressTV - US aid to Israel: 115 billion dollars

New data shows Washington has given more than 115 billion dollars in financial aid to Israel over the years, indicating Tel Aviv’s great dependence on the US.


According to the report published by the Congressional Research Service Israel has received more assistance from the US than 15 European countries did to recover from the devastation caused during World War II.

More than 67 billion dollars of the Washington's aid to Israel has been in military, the report said.

The astonishing report adds that the US has allocated 3.1 billion dollars, around one-fifth of its defense budget, to Israel this year alone.

Americans also allow the Israeli army to use their emergency reserve ammunition stored in Israel. The value of the weapons held in the US emergency supplies is 1.2 billion dollars.

The US gives billions of dollars in American taxpayers' money to the Tel Aviv regime each year in the form of military and economic aid, legally justified as part of US government's foreign aid package.

Washington has never downsized its annual 3 billion dollars grant to the Israeli regime despite going through its worst recession in decades which has prompted the government to impose major cuts on most public service programs for citizens.

Israel asks US for $700 million in military aid

The State of Israel would not exist without American blessing from the beginning. Period.

We give the Israelis some $5-10 billion in military aid every year.

The state of Israel would have come to exist, with or without the support of the US, eventually.
In that case, the foreign policy of the world would have been much different and the world would look different.

Show me about that 5-10 billion military aid though, if you do not mind.

That's the day you'll have your head smashed in by an assault rifle.
The US was not a major ally till 67'. Israel today is capable of destroying the entire middle east and that is a fact no sane person can deny.
