1 Military aid: 1959-1973 (Loans); 1974-1984 (Loans & Grants); 1984-Present (Grants).
2 Other defense funds are separate from military assistance and include funding for other missile defense programs (Arrow, David’s Sling and Iron Dome) as well as anti-tunnel cooperation. See below:
3 Economic aid is combination of grants and loans. Israel stopped receiving almost all economic aid in 2007.
4 Refugee resettlement aid is earmarked for the Jewish Agency/United Israel Appeal to help transport and resettle immigrants in Israel. It was primarily used to help Soviet immigrants in the 1980s and 1990s, and later for Ethiopian immigrants.
5 This is funding allocated to American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA). Figures are rounded to two decimals.
6 Includes Food for Peace (loans & grants); Export-Import Bank aid; Housing Loans; Cooperative Development aid; missile defense; and, others.
* Includes $1.92 billion in regular military assistance and $1.2 billion for implementation of the Wye Agreement.
Loan guarantees are not considered foreign aid so the $7.9 billion in guarantees have been excluded from this table (see Loan Guarantees for Israel [table]). This table also excludes funding for certain other projects the CRS does not consider foreign aid, such as the $180 million for the research and development of the Arrow missile.
