If ANYONE should get a decent deal, I would be least concerned about them.

In recent years and under the radar, the Israeli defense industry has undergone some impactful changes. Such changes, so it seems, might not be given full attention by the Israeli ecosystem: phasing out the ability to convert US Foreign Military Financing (FMF) for Offshore Procurement (OSP) into shekels for local defense research, development and procurement of Israeli manufactures equipment.
Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of US foreign assistance.
As of August 2019, the US has provided Israel $142.3 billion in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. The US Congress has throughout the years demonstrated a bipartisan broad support for the US-Israel bilateral relationship, including for US aid to Israel.
What's our national debt up to now? $ 27T? $30T? We should sell them most of what they want.....key word is sell.
