The United States Senate has approved a $15.4 billion foreign aid bill that reserves much of its help for her Middle East allies. The bill, which has already passed in the House of Representatives, will now go to President George W. Bush for his signature. Once again, Israel and Egypt will be the main beneficiaries of U.S. foreign legislation. Israel is slated to obtain $2.04 billion in military aid and $720 million in economic aid. Egypt will receive $1.3 billion in military aid and $655 million in economic assistance. Middle East policy experts both in the United States and in Israel have recently questioned whether Congress is justified in providing Egypt with vast military capabilities, since Egypt currently does not have any known enemies in the region. These experts fear that if the Arab world were to launch a war against Israel, Egypt would then use the acquired weaponry against the Jewish State.
