Prior to his departure to Climate Change Copenhagen Summit, U.S. President Barack Obama signed the 2010 foreign aid budget, which will provide USD 2.775 billion in security aid to Israel, a report by Israeli newspaper (Israel today) said on Sunday.
The newspaper added this aid package -- which comes for the second consecutive year -- is based on previous understanding and agreement between the two sides, noting that in the upcoming year the amount would increase to USD 30 billion.
The agreement between the two sides also included the allocation of a technological development aid to Israel for the upcoming years, the newspaper added.

Israel admits harvesting Palestinian organs
Israel has admitted that pathologists harvested organs from dead Palestinians, and others without the consent of their families – a practice that it said ended in the 1990s, it emerged at the weekend.
The admission, by the former head of the country's forensic institute, followed a furious row prompted by a Swedish newspaper reporting that Israel was killing Palestinians in order to use their organs – a charge that Israel denied and called "antisemitic".
The revelation, in a television documentary, is likely to generate anger in the Arab and Muslim world and reinforce sinister stereotypes of Israel and its attitude to Palestinians. Iran's state-run Press TV tonight reported the story, illustrated with photographs of dead or badly injured Palestinians.
Ahmed Tibi, an Israeli Arab MP, said the report incriminated the Israeli army.
The story emerged in an interview with Dr Yehuda Hiss, former head of the Abu Kabir forensic institute near Tel Aviv. The interview was conducted in 2000 by an American academic who released it because of the row between Israel and Sweden over a report in the Stockholm newspaper Aftonbladet.
Channel 2 TV reported that in the 1990s, specialists at Abu Kabir harvested skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from the bodies of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians and foreign workers, often without permission from relatives.
The Israeli military confirmed to the programme that the practice took place, but added: "This activity ended a decade ago and does not happen any longer."
Hiss said: "We started to harvest corneas ... whatever was done was highly informal. No permission was asked from the family."
However, there was no evidence that Israel had killed Palestinians to take their organs, as the Swedish paper reported. Aftonbladet quoted Palestinians as saying young men from the West Bank and Gaza Strip had been seized by the Israeli forces and their bodies returned to their families with missing organs. The interview with Hiss was released by Nancy Sheppard-Hughes, professor of anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley who had conducted a study of Abu Kabir.
She was quoted by the Associated Press as saying that while Palestinians were "by a long shot" not the only ones affected, she felt the interview must be made public, because "the symbolism, you know, of taking skin of the population considered to be the enemy, [is] something, just in terms of its symbolic weight, that has to be reconsidered."
Israel demanded that Sweden condemn the Aftonbladet article, calling it an antisemitic "blood libel". Stockholm refused, saying that to so would violate freedom of speech in the country. The foreign minister then cancelled a visit to Israel, just as Sweden was taking over the EU's rotating presidency.
Hiss was removed from his post in 2004, when some details about organ harvesting were first reported, but he still works at the forensic institute.
Israel's health ministry said all harvesting was now done with permission. "The guidelines at that time were not clear," it said in a statement to Channel 2. "For the last 10 years, Abu Kabir has been working according to ethics and Jewish law."

With that money sort of money, you could give every single person in the United States $100 to use for food, wiping out credit card debt, or for savings and investment. But no, instead we hand it out to IsraHELL.
Who cares about our own people as long as the IDF kills Palestinians.
Criminal, corrupt government.
When the Palestinians decide that they want peace more than they want dead Israelis then there will be peace. Egypt decided to seek peace and now has peace with Israel. Jordan decided they wanted peace and now they have peace with Israel. When Palestine decides she will accept peace she will have peace as well. Israel pulled out of Gaza, and what happened? Thousands of missiles fired from Gaza into Israel, coming on a daily basis.
If Palestine wants peace and a nation, Israel will give it. Palestine is not willing to seek peace and a two nation sollution to this point.
