“They were actually working on one with the US, US led project. The US cancelled the program. Twice.”
Yep, sounds like US policy. Unreal. I hope Israel finishes the jobs - they have a lot of incentive. If the rockets come straight down on the terrorists and the their human shields, they will have a tougher time finding popular support.
The contractor who was working on it the first two times is offering to finish it for the Israelis. The Israelis are understandably not terribly interested in dumping money into this only to have the Obama Administration yank the football away again.
