United States-Israel Rocket and Missile Defense Cooperation and Support Act - Authorizes the President to provide assistance to the government of Israel for the procurement, maintenance, and sustainment of the Iron Dome Short Range Artillery Rocket Defense System for purposes of intercepting short-range rockets, missiles, and mortars launched against Israel.
This bill authorizes the President to provide financial assistance to Israel for buying, maintaining, and operating the Iron Dome air defense system, which intercepts short-range rockets and missiles.
This locks in U.S. funding for Israel's defensive military capabilities without conditions or restrictions, and represents a direct subsidy for a specific weapons system rather than general military aid.
