Foreign Military Sales to Israel.

Abstract

This thesis summarizes the history of Israel from a military point of view by looking at the major Arab-Israeli wars. The present Israeli armed forces structure, i.e., air force, army, and naval strengths is presented, and the Arab threat which they are intended to counter is analyzed. Following a brief description of the evolution of U.S.-Israeli military aid, is a summary of all U.S. FMS, economic aid, and security supporting agreements to Israel, including repayments and waived payments. Recent world events of a military, economic, political, and social nature which may have an impact on FMS to Israel and on Israel's survival are included. The authors offer conclusions and recommend that future research be made.
