The funding agreed in April was released amid tensions in the Middle East.

The United States is allocating $3.5 billion to Israel to buy American weapons and military equipment. CNN reported this on Friday, August 9, citing officials familiar with the issue.

It was noted that the US State Department informed lawmakers on Thursday night of the Biden administration’s intention to allocate $3.5 billion in military funding for Israel. The money will come from $14.1 billion in additional funding approved by Congress in April.

It is unusual for the exit process to take several hours, the sources said. However, the fund was released this week as Israel and other countries in the region prepare for a possible attack from Iran or Hezbollah.

However, Israel will not immediately receive $3.5 billion worth of weapons, as these systems are in production and may not be delivered for several years. The additional funding also includes the Pentagon releasing weapons and equipment from its reserves, which can be delivered to Israel more quickly.

Iran has reportedly sent a warning to Israel through Hungary of its intention to attack. The announced strike would be a “response” to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Ghania in Israel. This is what Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said.

The media previously said that Iran could attack Israel on Monday, August 5. There is also information that it will happen on August 12-13 – the national day of mourning for Jews.
