Israel's US Jet Quandary
The Israeli Air Force faces uncertainty over fighter jet purchases and arms deals, as the U.S. Congress could impose restrictions or conditions on aid, turning the deals into political battles. Under an agreement in effect through September 2028, Israel receives about $3.8 billion a year—$3.3 billion for military procurement and $500 million for missile defense—but the allocation must be approved by Congress each year. An alternative model based on joint military investment and development is under discussion as part of an initiative linked to the U.S. defense budget for 2027. However, it has not become law and does not guarantee funding, leaving the future of cooperation and the fate of the fighter jets uncertain.
