Israel's Apache Helicopter Procurement Delayed by Budget Problems, Defense Procurement Halted

Due to the budget deficit, Israel could not purchase 12 Apache attack helicopters from Boeing, and the delivery was delayed by three years. The government has not been able to approve additional appropriations in the defense budget for months, and the purchase of air defense system missiles has also stopped. On the instructions of Prime Minister Netanyahu, the 2026 budget was increased from 143 billion shekels to 183 billion shekels, but the August tranche was not paid. Delayed payments and lack of spare parts have negatively impacted operational capability in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
