Congress Proposes Major Funding Boost for US-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation

$3.8 billion per year: the baseline U.S. military aid commitment to Israel through 2028

At least $17.9 billion in U.S. military aid to Israel was approved in the two years after October 7, 2023

$150 million per year: the counter-drone authorization in the Defense Partnership Act, nearly triple the current $55 million program

The global anti-drone market is projected to reach $10.58 billion by 2030, up from roughly $2 billion today

The Defense Partnership Act would direct the Pentagon to explore adding Israel to the U.S. National Technology and Industrial Base — currently limited to 4 countries
