House Votes to Increase Israeli Military Aid by Another $131 Million The U.S. House of Representatives increased funding for Israel’s missile defense systems. Included in the House’s Defense Appropriations Bill approved last week is $351 million for the Iron Dome anti-missile system, which is $175 million more than was requested in President Obama’s 2015 budget and $131 million more than funding in the 2014 fiscal year. The bill also included $270 million for the Arrow 3 and David’s Sling systems, an increase of $172 million over both the Obama administration’s request and fiscal year 2014 funding. councilforthenationalinterest.org/new/house-votes-to-increase-israeli-military-aid-by-another-131-million/#.U6yUZvXQdjp
