This is despite Israel’s sizable defense sector making out like bandits. Elbit Systems has never had to fulfill so many orders for Hermes drones.<p>They’ve been really hindered by the dysfunction on Capitol Hill. I imagine when the USA gets around to injecting 14 billion (more) taxpayer dollars into Israel’s extermination^H self-defense campaign at least a few billion of those won’t be in the form of credit towards purchases from the US defense sector and the Israeli economy will see some sort of bounce.
