Pentagon asks for extra $100 million to Israel for Iran defense (and Congress doubles the tip) | MondoweissCongress approved an additional $235 million in U.S. military aid to Israel, Ynet reports. The U.S. allocates to Israel approximately $2.5 billion in aid, per year.
The request, which boosts the total amount allocated for 2012 to $25 million more than the last fiscal year (the 2011 budget was $3.075 billion), came from the Pentagon in order to help Israel in "development of safeguards against rockets and missiles that could be launched towards Israel by Hezbollah and Iran."
I wonder if they got there monies worth?
