No military personnel whatever was sent to Israel by the United States, the ICA report showed.

Iraq got $46,100, 000; Jordan received $17, 600, 000; and Lebanon was given $8, 700, 000. Like Israel, none of these countries received any American military personnel. Egypt and Syria are not listed as recipients of any military aid.
