Amid the recent run of bad news, there is a positive development that deserves our attention: Congress recently passed, and President Biden signed, a $1.5 trillion appropriations bill, which may well be the most pro-Israel legislation ever passed. It includes $3.3 billion in security assistance to Israel, $1 billion in supplemental funding for the Iron Dome, $500 million for US-Israel cooperation on defensive missiles like the Arrow and David’s Sling, and $75 million for US-Israel cooperation in areas such as agriculture, health care, homeland security, and anti-tunnel and anti-drone technology. Under the Israel Relations Normalization Act, the US is required to support and expand peace agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Also included is $250 million for security grants for shuls, yeshivos, and other at-risk nonprofit institutions. Our thanks go to Congressman Gregory Meeks, the Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Congresswoman Grace Meng, who spearheaded the effort for increased funding for security grants, for their leadership role.
