Israel receives the largest amount of US military aid, a new statistic shows.

With $3.1 billion per year, Israel almost triples the $1.3 billion given by the US to Egypt – the country in second place, with a population 10 times larger than Israel’s. Iraq, Jordan and Pakistan are next on the list, with $300 million to Iraq and Jordan and $280 to Pakistan.
