Israel's Waning US Clout
The episode of *The Economic Informant+* examines declining public support for Israel in the United States, particularly since the Gaza war, and what this could mean for Israel’s political influence and its relationship with Washington. It says the United States provided Israel with about $175 billion in bilateral aid and missile-defense funding between 1946 and 2025—a figure that rises to roughly $298 billion when adjusted for inflation—while a 2019–2028 agreement pledged an additional $38 billion. The episode also discusses AIPAC, which was linked to about $127 million in spending during the 2023–2024 election cycle, including more than $55 million in direct campaign contributions. But it concludes that declining public support does not mean Israel’s influence is collapsing, as institutions, military agreements, and lobbying groups continue to sustain the relationship.
