The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2027, which includes $750 million for military programs related to Israel, an increase of $65 million from the previous year. The bill has been sent to the Senate and has not yet become law until approved by both chambers.
This funding will be allocated: $500 million for missile defense systems, including the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow missiles. The Iron Dome system, operational since 2011, is designed to intercept short-range rockets. A 2020 report by the U.S. Congressional Research Service stated that the system intercepted nearly 90% of rockets identified as threats to populated areas.
The aid package also includes $100 million for anti-drone technology, $100 million for underground warfare such as tunnel mapping, and $50 million for emerging defense technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) and automation systems.
According to analysis by Brown University, from October 2023 to September 2025, the U.S. provided approximately $21 billion in military aid to Israel. This support is underpinned by a 10-year memorandum signed in 2016, committing $33 billion for the Foreign Military Financing program and an additional $5 billion for missile defense programs.
Alongside direct government aid, numerous private corporations have benefited from the military supply chain for Israel. A study by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) identified 57 companies with financial ties to Israel's military supply chain, from major defense contractors like RTX and Boeing to technology companies like Palantir, automakers such as Toyota and General Motors, and even Amazon.
Major military contracts have generated enormous profits. Palantir's stock price rose from $16.61 on October 6, 2023, to $119.61 earlier this week, a gain of 618%. Meanwhile, Boeing sold $18.8 billion worth of F-15 fighter jets and $2.4 billion worth of KC-46A refueling aircraft from 2023 to 2025. RTX's stock also climbed from $69.77 to $219.31, an increase of 214.3%.
Israel's air fleet relies heavily on U.S.-manufactured aircraft, including Boeing's F-15 as well as Lockheed Martin's F-16 and F-35. Israel purchased a new squadron of F-35s worth $3 billion in July 2023, just before the conflict began. Meanwhile, missile systems and components for the Iron Dome produced by RTX recorded sales of $102.5 million as of 2025.
