he Unites States has announced it will allocate $235 million for the development of safeguards against rockets and missiles that could be launched towards Israel by Hezbollah and Iran.
A large part of the funds will go towards the development of the David’s Sling system, designed to intercept medium- to long-range rockets and cruise missiles, and the Arrow 2 and 3 systems against long-range ballistic missiles.
This unprecedented sum comes at an unexpected time, while the American government is dealing with large budget cuts, including at the Pentagon.
However, Pentagon officials were the ones who requested that Congress approve a $106 million aid budget for Israel’s defense systems against missiles, on top of the Iron Dome budget.

I’m not an Obama fan, but I sure do like seeing articles like this one, where as much as Obama uses the wrong words with regards to Israel, his actions are a mixed bag – not ALL bad.
Mr. Obama is definitely not a fan of Israel no matter how much he tries to play with your brain. He just needs Israel because it’s his only ally in the middle east and he might need it to help him with Iran.
I would like to add that i love seeing that Hashem has sent israel help via America. This is a huge to step to help israel and it’s definitely comendable.
