Question #7
Do you support President Bush's decision to increase the annual military aid to Israel from $2.4 billion to about $3b. for a period of 10 years, pending Congress approval? In principle, do you believe US aid to friendly Mideast and Gulf nations (whether Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Qatar) should be cut in return for greater domestic investment?

In the run-up to the 2008 US presidential elections, The Jerusalem Post Internet Edition JPost.com has invited central presidential contenders to respond to questions on matters of importance to Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
We will be sending out questions to the candidates every two weeks or so. We started out with a relatively general inquiry about the importance they attach to the US's strategic alliance with Israel and how, if elected, they would work to foster that alliance (see below). The questions will get more specific as the campaign heats up.
Question #1
What's the importance of Israel as a strategic ally and how would your administration manage ties between the two countries?
