Abstract:

SDI cooperation serves the interests of both the U.S. and Israel. It strengthens U.S. and Israeli ties as well as the SDI program itself. But clearly cooperation is most important for Israel. For the ability to defend itself against a growing Syrian short-range ballistic missile threat may some day be necessary for Israel's very survival.
