Netanyahu Calls for Israel to End Reliance on US Arms

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reserve combat officers in Gush Etzion that Israel must free itself from military dependence on the United States. He said the country should build its own weapons-production capabilities to strengthen its position in ongoing confrontations with Iran and its proxies. Netanyahu’s comments come as US and Israeli officials negotiate a new 10-year security framework intended to transition from aid to a fully reciprocal partnership. US Vice President JD Vance noted that two-thirds of Israel’s defensive weapons are currently US–made and funded by American taxpayers. The original post mocked the prime minister’s stance, calling him confused and arguing that Iran already manufactures its own weapons, suggesting Netanyahu is learning this lesson the hard way.
