Why it matters
On 31 January 2026, the US cleared $6.67bn in arms sales to Israel. The package includes 30 Apache attack helicopters priced at $3.8bn and infantry assault vehicles valued at $1.98bn. A separate $740m military contract and $150m for light utility helicopters were included. Boeing and Lockheed Martin are named suppliers for the Apache helicopters.
Implications
  • Named defense contractors carry production, export-licensing, and delivery obligations for the Apache helicopters.
  • US export-control and oversight processes apply to licensing, monitoring, and end-use verification of the transfers.
