A delegation of 30 U.S. military officers this week got a glimpse into the future of warfare during a visit to Israel Aerospace Industries’ offices organized by the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA).

IAI develops advanced technologies to support Israel’s defense needs, and as a byproduct of the close strategic relations between Jerusalem and Washington it works closely with American partners to share capabilities and provide solutions for the U.S. military.

The delegation learned about the company’s work on next-generation fighter jets, unmanned aerial vehicles, missile development, space exploration and satellites.

“Visits like this are an important way to strengthen the strong defense alliance between Israel and the United States. For more than 40 years, IAI has had a presence in North America and collaborates with U.S. defense and aerospace firms to share our combat-proven technological capabilities with the U.S. military,” said IAI North American Executive Vice President Col. (res.) Amir Geva.

Established in 1953, the state-owned IAI is one of Israel’s largest technology employers with offices and R&D centers in Israel and abroad.

Kurt Schwartz of CAMERA told JNS that editors on the site commit “errors of omission” when they hide Piker’s “indifference to and even denial of Hamas’s sexual assault.”
“Every marker matters,” Michael X. Garrett, chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission, said. “Because remembrance worthy of sacrifice must be careful, humble and exact.”
Simon Hankinson of the Heritage Foundation told JNS that policies restricting ICE cooperation “assist people who are deeply hostile to the United States.”
“Many of these faculty helped to create an atmosphere where Jewish, Zionist and Israeli faculty and students felt excluded, unwelcome and even physically threatened,” Raeefa Shams of the Academic Engagement Network told JNS.
Israel sees the move as a long-term strategic step, implementation due to begin in the coming days.
