Why does the UK get so less funding than Israel.

The UK should not be getting funding to begin with. It could be there are still some programs running started before 2020. But either way, why the fuck is Israel receiving EU funding is something I don’t understand.

Why shouldn't the UK get funding, when it is an associate member of Horizon Europe and contributes €2.4 billion annually to it?

Even during those times, UK wanted to be associated with Horizon. It was delayed by the EU and settled when Tory PM Sunak agreed the NI Protocol with the EU.
