      "title": "Israel: Missile Defense Cooperation With the United States",
      "summary": "The growing number and sophistication of ballistic missile threats in the Middle East has\nprompted\nthe United States to help Israel develop several missile and rocket defense programs. The\ncenterpiece of these efforts, the Arrow Weapons System, has demonstrated successes in tests and\nIsrael unveiled it to the public on March 14, 2000. Some argue that these efforts cannot guarantee\nIsrael's security, and that Israel's national interests are better served by peace agreements with its\nneighbors and other measures. Others believe that even if peace agreements are achieved, Israel will\nneed a robust defense. This report will be updated to reflect regional and legislative developments. \nSee also,  CRS Issue Brief IB98028, Theater Missile Defense: Issues for Congress; and CRS Issue Brief IB82008, Israel-United States Relations.",
