Things are not always as they appear....

Israel and the United States signed on Wed. 14 Sept. 2016, a historic defense agreement worth $38 billion over ten years, the largest such pledge in American history hailed by both countries as a cornerstone of their alliance. PM Netanyahu addressed the Israeli people that evening ahead of the historic pact to be signed between America and Israel: "In one hour, a historic agreement will be signed between America and Israel. The agreement will ensure that an unprecedented amount of military aid be granted to Israel over the next decade. In his speech, Netanyahu noted that, "This is the largest package of military aide that the USA has ever granted to another nation. It will allow us to improve our military capabilities and improve our missile defense system.” The Prime Minister thanked those involved saying, "I would like to thank President Obama and his administration for this historic agreement. I would like to thank our friends in the Congress and the entire American nation." Netanyahu stated that, "The agreement serves both our defense interests and America’s interests." (Arutz-7/J.Post)
