The Prime Minister's Office announced, Monday, that Acting Head of the National Security Council Yaakov Nagel, will travel to Washington, DC on Sunday for meetings with his White House counterparts, for the purpose of signing a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Israel and the United States on military aid as soon as possible.
A statement by the office said, "Israel places great value on the predictability and certainty of the military assistance it receives from the United States and on honoring bilateral agreements. Therefore, it is not in Israel's interest for there to be any changes to the fixed annual MOU levels without the agreement of both the U.S. Administration and the Israeli government. For Fiscal Year 2017, Israel remains committed to the Foreign Military Financing level specified in the current MOU, which is $3.1
