Proposed defense package underscores deepening U.S.–Israel security ties as Washington signals continued military support amid regional tensions.
WASHINGTON, D.C. | The Trump administration is moving forward with plans for nearly $6 billion in arms sales to Israel, according to a report released this week. The proposed package represents one of the largest single arms agreements with the U.S. ally in recent years, signaling Washington’s commitment to maintaining Israel’s qualitative military edge in the Middle East.
The deal reportedly includes advanced missile defense systems, precision-guided munitions, and air-to-air weaponry, designed to bolster Israel’s deterrence capabilities against regional adversaries. Defense officials emphasized that the agreement aligns with long-standing U.S. commitments under the 10-year, $38 billion memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in 2016.
