Wars of the future ‘being planned’ in Israel – US senator — RT World News

Lindsey Graham has praised local defense industry during his trip to Tel Aviv

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has said Israel is ahead of the US in developing cutting-edge weapons.

Graham made the remarks in Tel Aviv after meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Yair Lapid on Monday. The senator said Washington should invest in Israel’s defense industry rather than “just writing a check” for military aid.

“I like that idea. The wars of the future are being planned here in Israel. If you’re not one step ahead of the enemy, you suffer,” Graham said, praising the Israel Defense Forces as “most clever, creative military forces on the planet.”

“Israel is advancing down the road of new weaponry far beyond us,” he added.
