Israel Requests 50% Increase in U.S. Military Aid, Up to $4.5B 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
Israel continues to express opposition to the deal, arguing that a
stronger Iran will threaten the region's stability. The New York Times
reports that Israel has been requesting between $4.2 billion to $4.5
billion of military aid from the United States each year for the next 10
years in talks that began prior to the Iran nuclear deal's passage.
Israel currently receives $3 billion a year in U.S. military aid.
