But not to our enemy countries and other terrorists?
Israel is better off without and all the strings that come attached with it. Better to be sovereign ~
GOD Doesn’t need Anyone’s help to Protect Israel!! Not even Israel’s. HE Is Able!!
But not to the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood ? Says volumes !
Not surprised with this A.H.in the W.H.

Has he suspended it to the other countries as well?
Yet, money to the arabs who do not need it since we are buying their oil still flows
