During the same period, the continued military aid of US$3.1 billion per year from the US will continue to increase the spending power of the country.

Key Market Issues
The Israeli government has introduced mandatory offsets for all defense transactions exceeding US$5 million. As Israel is intent on forging long-term relations between domestic firms and foreign investors, no penalties or clause for liquidated damages are imposed on defaulters. Indeed, one of the most important principles underlying the offset policies is that the activities pursued by domestic and foreign firms should be beneficial to both parties.

The military aid Israel has received from the US through government-to-government agreements has significantly supported the development the Israeli defense industry, and as a result, a significant portion of the equipment used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is of US origin, which provides US defense manufacturers with opportunities to enter the Israeli defense industry. For example, The Boeing Company, Bell Textron, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, and Hughes are all US defense firms that have entered the Israeli defense market through extensive military sales programs. Israel also stocks US military hardware such as armored vehicles and artillery shells, which can be used in the case of an emergency.
