U.S. to Israel: Tighten arms exports supervision

As a client of the USA, we must bow to America when it comes to matters relating to security. In this sense, we are , like some many other nations, compelled to act in a larger framework. There was a time when Israel was pre eminent in small arms such as the Uzi.
Now, the IDF is equipped with the M16 , a fine weapon.

The USa pays for this by allowing a better rate on the weapons. Israe loses by having it's own weapons plants closed down. Whaterever your views on the military swapping home production for imports rarely brings long term benefits.
