US President Joe Biden’s funding request calls for Congress to approve $US14.3 billion for Israel, after the Hamas incursion that killed more than 1000 people. More than $US10 billion would go to military needs, primarily air- and missile-defence support.
Cohen said the other top priority for Washington is to expedite shipments of air tankers, which are crucial to extending the range of Israel’s air force. The funding request will also provide money for Israel to replenish its Iron Dome air defence system. “To let Israel down now would be sending the wrong signal to our allies,” Cohen said.
