Israel hails US military aid rise -

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has confirmed that
the United States is planning a significant increase
in military and defence aid to Israel.

The package would reportedly amount to more than $30bn
(£14.8bn) over the next 10 years.

Mr Olmert described it as an important element for
the security of Israel.

Washington is reportedly preparing a package of major arms
sales to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states because
of concerns over Iran's nuclear programme.

US defence aid to Israel currently stands at $2.4bn a year -
the new package would amount to a 25% increase.

Mr Olmert said the aid had been agreed at a meeting with US
President George W Bush in Washington last month.

Saudi arms deal

The BBC's Bethany Bell in Jerusalem says the package is seen
as an attempt to allay Israeli concerns over the planned
arms deal with Saudi Arabia, reportedly worth $20bn
(£9.8bn) over the next decade.

Defence officials quoted by US media said the sales
would include advanced weaponry, missile guidance
systems, upgraded fighter jets and naval ships.

Mr Olmert said the increased support was a sign of US
commitment to maintain Israel's military
"advantage over the Arab states".

"We understand the need of the US to assist the moderate
Arab states which are in one front with the US and us in
the fight against Iran, and on the other hand we appreciate
the renewed and re-emphasised support for Israel's
military and security advantage," he said.
