US EditionIsrael to seek new security deal with the US, FT reports
Israel aims to shift from $3.3 billion annual US cash grants to joint military projects in a new 10-year security deal, reflecting its growing defense industry.
- On Tuesday, Israel is preparing for talks with US President Donald Trump's administration on a new 10-year security deal, the Financial Times reported as Israel aims to extend US military support.
- Israel hopes to taper reliance on US cash grants as Israeli leaders plan to prioritise joint military and defence projects while expanding Israel's domestic defence industry.
- The existing 2016 memorandum of understanding provided $38 billion in military aid through 2028, including missile defence systems, while Gil Pinchas said cash support was 'one component' that 'could decrease gradually'.
- Gil Pinchas said talks are expected in the coming weeks as he spoke before stepping down as chief financial adviser, and the US State Department did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
- Israel's war on Gaza and clashes with Iran frame security priorities amid a conflict that has killed over 71,000 Palestinians and included Israeli military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
