we have had israel's foreign minister israel katz coming out quite quickly thanking the us congress for this, noting there was overwhelming bipartisan support, saying that this sends a strong message to israel's enemies. of course this package was passed after there had been some congressional democrats who had been saying in recent weeks that further military aid to israel from the us should come with conditions attached because of concerns about the conduct of the war in gaza. but this doesn't seem to have been the case, and if you break down that $17 billion that's heading the way of israel, it's about 5 billion for replenishing and expanding its air defence system, the real value of that has been proved time and time again in the past six months or so as the war in gaza has raged on and we have had the new threats emerging to israel, the likes of the direct attack by iran using drones and missiles earlier this month for the first time coming directly from iranian soil. then you have also included in this money further billions of dollars that were going towards advanced weapon syste
