Defense Ministry Faces Uncertainty Without US Aid

The Israeli Defense Ministry maintains a procurement delegation in the US, which costs tens of millions of shekels annually. The delegation manages US foreign aid to Israel, which is used to purchase military equipment and technology, including servers from Cisco. However, if US aid ends, the delegation’s role may become redundant, and European companies may start competing for tenders. This development was first reported by Haaretz.
