The US Congress has authorized $284 million to fund Israel’s missile systems
program, triple the amount the Obama administration had requested.
The bill, introduced jointly by the House of Representatives and Senate budget
committees, includes $33.7 million to improve the Arrow Weapon System, $117
million for the Short-Range Ballistic Missile Defense Program and $22 million for
development of the Arrow-3 upper-tier interceptor, according to Business Week.
The measure comes as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act
for 2014.
Separately, the House on Wednesday passed 399-0 a bill that would enhance the
US commitment to Israel’s “qualitative military edge” in the region, the JTA news
agency reported.
Additionally, the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved legislation
that would create a strategic energy partnership between Israel and the United
States, JTA said.
