    It’s not phased out nor are concrete plans to phase it out mentioned. Ergo that is irrelevant to the argument.

    I’m talking about reality not theoretical plans. You are factually wrong and I corrected you just accept it and move on.

      nor are concrete plans to phase it out mentioned.

      Once again, the article you cited, with the bit you cut out included and in bold:

      Israel has also historically been permitted to use a portion of its FMF aid to buy equipment from Israeli defense firms—a benefit not granted to other recipients of U.S. military aid—but this domestic procurement is to be phased out in the next few years.

      And the article linked to in the article you cited:

      According to a congressional report, the “phasing out [of] Off-Shore Procurement (OSP) is to decrease slowly until FY2024, and then phase out more dramatically over the MOU’s last five years, ending entirely in FY2028.” As a consequence, the report notes “some Israeli defense contractors are merging with U.S. companies or opening U.S. subsidiaries”—in other words, transferring their personnel and capacities from Israel to the U.S.

      The only thing you’ve proved is your inability or unwillingness to read.

      Given previous interactions, I suspect it’s the former.

      You are factually wrong and I corrected you just accept it and move on.

      I’m sure you believe that. Good for you.

        I think that just means that they are pretending to be American companies that operate in israel.

        Let’s see it being phased out before celebrations. We’ve seen plenty of “plans” change the moment they are supposed to be implemented. Does the current massive 26 Billion require American only spending ye?

        At the current moment israel is taking military aid dollars and using them in their own economy not the American one.
