What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Israel's defense relationship with the United States is shifting from large government aid to a deeper, commercially driven partnership. American and Israeli defense firms are increasingly collaborating on joint production lines for systems including missile defense, unmanned systems, and battlefield AI. Dozens of Israeli companies are moving to the United States to establish American headquarters and enter the local defense market.
