The actual long term solution is a One State plan but Israel would rather give away half its land than do that.

team overhead smash posted:Aren't they? I would expect at least some of it is done through the executive branch, like State/Defence Department's Foreign Military Sales program. There are eligibility requirements (iirc if we determine there was a coup they're ineligible, for example) but it's not really clear that the executive branch can just deny service. Another thing to keep in mind is that the funding acts as a carrot, not as a stick - There's not much reason why Israel couldn't just as easily align itself with Russia, be neutral to Iran, and start denouncing the Saudis as the global threat, for example.
