U.S.-Israel Military Relations: An Israeli Perspective
The United States defense establishment is a major partner in Israel's strategic balance and a pillar of its defensive shield. And Israel has contributed to American tactics and weapons systems. At the same time, no American soldier has ever fought in a battle in which Israel was fighting with its Arab neighbors, nor is that expected to happen in the future. The statement that the U.S. is committed to Israel's security has been repeatedly made by the U.S. President and key U.S. political and military leaders. America's commitment to Israel's Qualitative Military Edge (QME) has been reiterated and enhanced by presidents and congresses of both political parties, even as the United States replaced the Soviet Union as the source of much of the Arab world's weaponry
