“The scope and depth of the relationship between the defence establishment of the United States and Israel is unprecedented. Between the Pentagon and the Ministry of Defence, between our armed forces, intelligence agencies and defence industries.

There is no greater friend of the state of Israel than the United States of America, who provide us our strategic backbone. At this very moment, as we stand here, the United States and Israel continued working together on highly sophisticated technological ventures, joint military training and other cooperative projects.” (Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon speaking at a press conference alongside US Secretary of Defence Ash Carter, 20/07/2015).
