The President is authorized to take all necessary and appropriate measures, including providing offensive security assistance and applicable ordnance and delivery systems, to enhance Israel’s qualitative military edge, effectively deter conventional and nuclear threats from Iran, and counter non-peaceful nuclear activities by Iran. Pursuant to consultations between the Governments of Israel and the United States, the President may, consistent with United States treaty obligations, transfer to the Government of Israel, as appropriate, ordnance and delivery systems under such terms and conditions as the President determines necessary, pursuant to the authority of paragraph (1).
The President shall, as appropriate, ensure that Israeli personnel have the opportunity and means to train with such defense systems, including joint training exercises, consistent with the requirements of this paragraph. Congress finds that the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Israel setting annual foreign military financing levels for Israel is set to conclude at the end of fiscal year 2018, and the terms of its extension will be renegotiated over the 2015 through 2018 time period.
The President is authorized to provide any additional foreign military financing to Israel in each fiscal year from fiscal year 2018 through fiscal year 2028 as may be needed to address threats from Iran. The President shall provide, as appropriate, assistance and cooperation to Israel to ensure Israel’s qualitative military edge and effectively deter conventional and nuclear threats supported, directly or indirectly, by Iran. Congress finds that the United States and Israel have an established record of unprecedented military and intelligence cooperation, most recently furthered by the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014 ( Public Law 113–296 ), which designated Israel as a major strategic partner of the United States.
The President is authorized to accelerate co-development and support Israeli development of missile defense systems, and to engage in discussions to bolster the effectiveness of Israel’s conventional deterrent and deepen intelligence cooperation.
