US official pledges Israel will receive missile funding it needs
A US official tells Israel Radio that the Obama administration is committed to Israel’s missile defense and will work with Congress to ensure the funding it receives will cover all the essential costs.
However, the US official reiterates opposition to increasing the missile defense aid for Israel by $455 million, arguing that money would come at the expense of US ballistic missile programs.
