American security assistance to Israel is in the news. As members of Congress consider funding the 9th year of a 10-year MOU originally signed by President Obama, broader questions about the next MOU are shaping the discussion here in Washington and across the country. In this episode, AIPAC Spokeswoman Deryn Sousa sits down with senior lobbyists Dave Gillette and Deb Saxon to discuss the MOU's decades-long history, how the money is spent (spoiler: almost all of it is spent here in America), and discuss why this funding matters to America.
