Washington, Nov 21 - The United States said Wednesday it had pledged to give Israel 2.16 billion dollars in military assistance next year to ensure the defense of its chief Middle East ally.
The amount of aid for fiscal 2004, which is still subject to congressional approval, was agreed to at meetings last week between senior US and Israeli officials in Washington, the State Department said in a statement.
"As part of this year's US-Israel joint security assistance planning presentation, the United States and Israel exchanged letters on November 15 which confirmed that the United States intends to provide Israel 2.16 billion dollars in foreign military assistance in fiscal 2004," it said.
