Date: 2023-10

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said this morning that the Pentagon would "work to ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself."

Israel, a major non-NATO ally, is the largest cumulative recipient of overall U.S. aid since World War II, including billions for missile defense and purchases of U.S. military equipment. Over the past few years, the U.S. has sold Israel heavy-lift helicopters, aerial-refueling tankers, naval guns and much more. Israel was the first foreign country to fly the advanced F-35 jet fighter.
