Why Netanyahu Is Calling for an End to U.S. Military Aid to Israel
The US has supplied arms to Israel since the early 1960s. But it was only in the late 1970s – following the October/Yom Kippur War of 1973 and the subsequent Egypt-Israel peace treaty of 1979 – that Israel became a major recipient of military aid from the US. Washington’s thinking at that time was twofold. It wanted to stave off any further existential threats to Israel by maintaining its Cold War ally’s qualitative edge in military technology over any Soviet backed Arab potential enemies. US military aid to both Israel and Egypt was also intended as a reward for the land-for-peace deal concluded between these two former enemies.
