’Israel’ Requests $5 Billion US Annual Military Aid
Local Editor
As part of the continuous support to the apartheid "Israeli" regime, US intends to study a request for a $5 billion increase in annual support to Tel aviv.
According to congressional source, "Israel" wants $5 billion per year in military aid for 10 years, for a total of $50 billion, the congressional aides said.
"It has been signaling that it wants more money to counter threats it says will arise as a result of the international agreement on Iran's nuclear program."
"First they have to negotiate with the White House," one senior congressional aide said of "Israel".
"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to visit Washington for talks with President Barack Obama next week, when the package is likely to be discussed and its broad outlines may be agreed.
"Israeli" government spokesmen declined to provide details on the military aid talks.
One US official said the Obama administration was unlikely to fully meet the Israeli request, and predicted the sides would settle for an annual sum of between $4 billion and $5 billion.
"Israel" has also secured hundreds of millions of dollars in additional US funding for missile military in recent years.
Before this request, "Israeli" and US officials said they were looking at a new aid package worth $3.6 billion to $3.7 billion annually.
