‘The
U.S. Army will double the value of emergency military equipment it
stockpiles on Israeli soil, and Israel will be allowed to use the U.S.
ordnance in the event of a military emergency, according to a report in
Monday’s issue of the U.S. weekly Defense News. The report, written by
Barbara Opall-Rome, the magazine’s Israel correspondent, said that an
agreement reached between Washington and Jerusalem last month will
bring the value of the military gear to $800 million.
This is the final phase of a process that began over a year ago to
determine the type and amount of U.S. weapons and ammunition to be
stored in Israel, part of an overarching American effort to stockpile
weapons in areas in which its army may need to operate while allowing
American allies to make use of the ordnance in emergencies.’
