Dispute between Israel and the United States over military aid

In depth

In the talks on future military aid, Washington is demanding to receive and manage Israeli technological know-how. According to Globes and N12, the sticking point concerns this demand, against the backdrop of Prime Minister Netanyahu's assessment that Israel cannot rely on U.S. military aid in its current form.

In Israel there are concerns that the move would harm the advantage of the domestic defense industries. According to Behadrei Haredim, in parallel to the talks the aid is expected to be reduced and the conversion clause is expected to disappear.
