TL;DR

A widely shared social-media analysis touted by Israeli journalist Ariel Kahana argues that Israel provides the US with intelligence, strategic basing, and F-35 cost savings worth tens of billions of dollars annually — far exceeding the $3.8 billion in annual US military aid. Kahana acknowledges the figures may be exaggerated but asserts the overall argument is sound. The analysis has been shared on a monitored channel linked to Kahana.
