Israel intends to overcome its military dependence on the USA and other Western countries. According to Euromedia24, The Washington Post reports this.
"Israel is investing millions of dollars to build heavier weapons domestically, amid growing concerns about its dependence on arms imports from the US and other Western countries, although the flow of arms from them continues largely unabated," the article said.
Israel's Defense Ministry announced last week that it had signed contracts worth about $275 million for the production of heavy bombs and defense materials. "This is the main lesson of the war, which will allow the Israel Defense Forces to continue to operate effectively in all theaters of war," said Defense Director General Eyal Zamir.
On January 4, the US State Department informally notified Congress of the potential sale of a large arms shipment to Israel worth $8 billion, including ammunition for fighter jets and helicopters.
