Israel fears US budget cuts may hurt missile defense

Congress to discuss plans to cut security budget, including funding of Arrow-3 missile defense system; Israel fears policy may also jeopardize future sale of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft

###

The Obama administration is once again considering offering Israel the Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) anti-ballistic missile system instead of helping Israel finance most of the development of the Arrow-3 system, Ynet has learned.

Congress is expected to discuss the matter shortly. Israel has rejected a similar offer in the past.

Unlike the Arrow, which is placed on land and is only aimed at intercepting ballistic missiles, the SM-3 is used by the US Navy and is aimed at intercepting aircraft, ships and missiles threatening warships.

*snip*

Experts have claimed that Israel cannot give up on the development of the Arrow-3, with one of them saying it was "crucial to Israel's existence."

Congress is also expected to discuss the possibility of reducing its investment in the manufacturing of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. The US has already approved the sale to Israel of 25 of these aircraft and an option for 50 more in coming years – a deal valued at up to $15.2 billion.

Should the US reduce its funding of the manufacturing of these planes, fewer orders for the plane and a subsequent price hike are expected, possibly making the deal undesirable for Israel.

Damn him, this cretin's putting the screws to Israel, he's gonna let them swing in the wind. I pray Bibi shows the world and Iran and 0 what true resolve and what duty to protecting your country and people means. 0 is undoing every known important alliance we've had in the world, top to bottom.

Change is Obamanese for deliberate destruction and disaster.

God bless and protect Israel.

Interesting how the occupant is running around South America talking about how we are all equal, yet seems to me he is basically bullying Israel to do what he wants.

And how does this differ from the Bush-Powell-Rice policy?

“And I will bless them them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee: and in thee shall all of the families of the earth be blessed.”

Obama, and Emanuel, do you really want to apply pressure on the children of Israel? Do you have an understanding of just who gave the land to these people?

The land of Israel is NOT the inheritance of the Palestinians, and you didn't draw the map for Israel,
GOD did. You are playing with fire.

Isn’t it. It appears he loves dissing Israel, courting the Arab world (and purposely and definitely genuflecting to the Saudi king), all jihadists and their lovers like Syria, Hamas, the Taliban and Hezbollah and the world’s despots, Achmedinejad, Castro and Chavez.

And this diabolical creature is in our White House.

Pray for our brave troops and America.

Are you serious ?

This admin is purposefully gaming Israel .. canceling the appointment with Nentanyahu, putting Israel’s purchase of the F-35’s in doubt, and giving strong signals of their affinity for the insurgents of the world, especially talking with no preconditions with Iran, and the other radical Arabs, etc., as I posted above.

Did you EVER EVER hear Pres. Bush or Condi Rice in their statements about the two-state solution express anything but support and standing with this tiny, surrounded democracy against the attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah, etc.?

Powell? Colin Powell ? He’s an egotistical weasel, a nothing .. he showed his self-invested stripes too many times to even enumerate.

This is the crisis Plughead Biden was cackling about. Ogabe made it clear to plugs that he would not back Israel’s play vis a vis Iran.

The question is will he obstruct Israel??

Will Ogabe’s stance against Israel give the green light to the ISLAMO CRAZY SCUMBAG MUDBATHERS to launch an all out attack against Israel??

How many dead Israelis will it take to Impeach this MARXIST MUSLIM KENYAN??
