The U.S. 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. The deal, announced after a meeting between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, is part of foreign military sales. This occurs despite ongoing protests in the U.S. demanding an end to military support for Israel due to actions in Gaza. Contract work is expected to conclude by December 2035.
