Do I have to spoon feed you too? No one can keep track of all the issues, not even this board, because there is little organization and the internet gets wiped by guess who?
It was $35 billion a year but seems like that was scrubbed and made lower. Have a gander lazy.
There is no $35 billion "autopay" from Congress to Israel. However, U.S. military aid to Israel operates under a 10-year agreement signed in 2016, which provides up to $3.3 billion annually in military assistance, totaling $38 billion over the period from 2019 to 2028.
This funding is not automatic and still requires annual appropriation processes, though the commitment ensures a steady flow of aid without needing new legislative approval for each disbursement.
In October 2023, Rep. Matt Gaetz referred to Israel being on "autopay," citing the existing legislative framework that guarantees $3.3 billion per year in aid, which he said gives Israel a qualitative military edge in the region.
This comment was made in contrast to debates over U.S. aid to Ukraine, where some lawmakers have pushed for stricter oversight or limitations.
