“The Pentagon has requested $220.3 million in 2014 to bolster Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ missile defense system despite broader cuts to US military spending, according to budget documents. The US Missile Defense Agency also is asking for an additional $175.9 million in fiscal year 2015 for Israel’s homegrown missile defense network, according to the agency’s budget proposal posted online. The Pentagon already invested $204 million on the system in 2011 and $70 million in 2012. US military assistance to Israel comes to about three billion dollars a year to ensure the country’s ‘qualitative military edge’ in the region, as mandated by Congress.”
