Israel is a strong, self-sufficient nation that advances our strategic interests — an innovation powerhouse that helps strengthen our national security and bolster our economy. The Jewish state is a capable, determined and model ally on the geographic front lines defending Western values against dangerous groups and nations that are committed to destroying both it and the United States.
‍
In Israel, America has a partner that shares the burden of our mutual security and invests a greater percentage of its GDP in defense than America does. A world leader in innovation — specifically in battle-tested military technology — Israel helps strengthen America’s defenses while sharing cutting-edge know-how with U.S. troops.
‍
Israel spends billions of dollars each year in the United States to help build its capabilities, creating American jobs and accelerating our economy. Israeli research and development in the fields that will define the 21st century, including artificial intelligence and quantum computing, strengthen America’s capabilities and help ensure we are leading in the technology race for the future.
