The importance of these provisions is underscored by Israel’s current fight to remove the Hamas terrorist enemy from Gaza. Importantly, the bipartisan defense measure authorizes $500 million in FY 2024 for U.S.-Israel missile defense cooperation. This includes funds for Israeli procurement of Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow, and for bilateral research, development, testing and evaluation.
