Israel and the United States are collaborating on plans for joint military infrastructure that would allow for the extended presence of American aircraft alongside Israeli Air Force planes. This initiative aims to ensure a sustained American military presence in the region, regardless of potential shifts in US policy toward Iran following the midterm elections.
Joint teams from both nations have begun designing the infrastructure, which is expected to be located in southern Israel. The move stems from the understanding that American planes cannot remain indefinitely at Ben Gurion Airport or existing Israeli air force bases. Therefore, a dedicated facility is being considered to accommodate them long-term.
While the planning phase is underway, no construction has begun. Israel is keen to expedite this process in the near future. This current plan does not involve relocating entire US bases to Israel, but rather facilitating the prolonged stay of aircraft and potentially other American military assets.
The effort is part of a broader objective to maintain and enhance joint readiness in the region.
