The Pentagon has awarded Boeing an $8.6 billion contract for 25 F-15IA aircraft for the Israeli Air Force, with an option for 25 more. This foreign military sale, announced Monday, follows a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite calls from some U.S. protesters to end military support for Israel due to the Gaza conflict, such demands have not been met by recent administrations. Contract work is expected to conclude by late 2035.
