No, they will be shelling out billions. Billions from the billions in direct military aid that the US already provides them. We essentially give them the money that they then use to purchase 20 F-35s, which they then use to create their own defense industry jobs by producing the electronics for them themselves.

Isn't that the only example where the direct payments don't get spent on US goods, which means the massive amounts of money America gives Egypt in exchange for the Israeli/Egypt peace deal is far better for the US economy that the huge amounts they give Israel.
