WASHINGTON — Boeing was given an $8.6 billion contract for the F-15 Israel Program, the Pentagon says, after US President Donald Trump met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida.

“This contract provides for the design, integration, instrumentation, test, production, and delivery of 25 new F-15IA aircraft for the Israeli Air Force with an option for an additional 25 F-15IA aircraft,” the Pentagon says.
