REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


U.S. Assistance To The State Of Israel






The major objectives of U.S. assistance to Israel
include demonstrating U.S. political support for
an ally and providing for the defense of Israel.
Israel receives more U.S. security assistance and
also more liberal terms and concessions than
other countries. However, it continues to seek
additional help because it perceives potential
threats from other Middle East nations which, in
some cases, also obtain advanced U.S. weaponry.
The Congress has approved increases in the
Israeli program and included more grants and
forgiven loans. Even so, Israel is faced with the
need to finance new military loans as well as to
make payments on older outstanding loans.

GAO believes the trends toward increasing assis-
tance requirements, greater relaxation of restric-
tions on the use of security assistance funds, and
the provision of assistance under terms others
may ask for will continue unless Israel can reach
a peaceful settlement with its Arab neighbors.
Without this, the United States is faced with ques-
tions concerning the spiraling Middle East arms
race, the impact of providing concessions with
assistance, and the Israeli military debt
situation.
