Israel's Defense Dependence on US Unsustainable, Needs Self-Reliance
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Israel's defense against Iranian missile attacks has relied heavily on U.S. intervention since 2024, but this support is unsustainable due to U.S. capacity and declining political will. The article argues Israel must urgently increase its self-reliance in defense. Significant expenditures of U.S. interceptors have depleted American stockpiles, while political support for such aid is waning. The authors propose reprogramming U.S. military aid to bolster Israel's independent missile defense capabilities.
