Israel's Defense Expenditure
The purpose of this article is to present the figures for defense spending in Israel, and to clarify what the economic burden of defense is on the economy. One of the conclusions is that the defense burden has fallen sharply in recent decades to the same level as in the early 1960s. In contrast to the situation in the 1970s and 1980s, the defense budget at its current level does not jeopardize economic stability.
