Cabinet ratifies providing the Israeli army with planes and weapons

Israeli cabinet ratified funding the provision of military weapons, equipment, and planes for the Israeli army with $10 million.

The deal includes supplying the army with warplanes, helicopters, and sophisticated ammunition, according to WALLA.

It also stated that the army had a green light to choose heavy warplanes for the future; to choose either Boeing CH-47 Chinook or CH43K.

Benny Gantz, Minister of Defense, asked the Israeli Airforce to submit its recommendations regarding this matter, and the possibility of buying the V-22 plane.

Within the framework of the plan, the Israeli Airforce will buy a squadron of sophisticated F35 planes, bombs, and rockets.

The deal also includes buy F15 planes, and KC-46 planes.

The Ministry of the Israeli Army was previously forcing to secure a loan to buy F35 at the expense of the annual military American funding throughout an American bank. Since that, the deal faces several problems in the funding.
