How does the US give aid to Pakistan then?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symington_Amendment#Legal_issu...

There are waivers allowed from the executive branch and I believe Pakistan got one after 9/11 with some antiterrorism benchmarks (conditional aid).

As I understand it the US doesn't acknowledge Israel is nuclear armed and so doesn't give them a waiver congruent with the law.
