From ‘Star Wars’ to ‘Iron Dome’: US support of Israel's Missile Defense systems

Pages 934-948
Published online: 21 Jul 2017
 

ABSTRACT

This article traces the process that bolstered Israel into becoming one of the world's leading high-tech top-tier defense producers in the world from Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative to the present multi-layer anti-missiles – the Arrow, David's Sling and Iron Dome. The article analyses the Israeli–American strategic partnership in the context of US/Middle Eastern policies from Reagan to Obama. This is a crucial element in the ‘Special Relationship’ between the United States and Israel.
