Dear A.,
I’m writing with great news. Moments ago, Congress passed its annual appropriations bills including over $4 billion in U.S.-Israel security funding.
This is the largest-ever annual appropriations package for U.S.-Israel security programs — and you helped make it possible.
The funding includes the full $3.3 billion in security assistance for Israel, which we lobby for each year, along with over $700 million for lifesaving U.S.-Israel defense programs — over $65 million more than last year's funding levels. It will now be sent to the president’s desk to be signed into law.
Our work together to help elect a pro-Israel Congress and keep our members engaged on these critical issues was essential to advancing these pro-Israel provisions, which will help keep Israel safe and the U.S.-Israel alliance strong.
This funding will help keep Americans safer, create American jobs, and ensure the two allies work closely together to confront shared 21st century challenges — while helping provide Israel the resources needed to defend its families on multiple fronts.
You can read more about each of these programs, and other key pro-Israel provisions in the bills, below my signature.
Outcomes like this do not happen by chance. They happen because AIPAC members like you help ensure we have the resources to provide strong political support to pro-Israel members and candidates, and to work with them year after year to advance meaningful pro-Israel policies.
Thank you for working with AIPAC to help make achievements like these possible.
Jake Braunstein
Senior Director, Policy Communications
The mission of AIPAC is to encourage and persuade the U.S. government to enact specific policies that create a strong, enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with our ally Israel.
