Why does the US pay Israel?
US aid to Israel began in 1949, primarily as economic support, shifting to military aid after the 1967 Six-Day War. It's seen as a strategic investment to maintain stability in the Middle East and support a key ally, rather than a simple payment. The current military aid package is a significant part of this relationship.
