No they don't.
It is quite relevant especially because US exists in its current form and has not advanced it's industry to high modern arms output.
the context was about needing to finance the war in monetary terms in order for the budget to be more balanced. not strictly about weapons only

- Summary
JERUSALEM, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Tuesday the 2025 state budget will feature steep spending cuts as the government tries to balance fiscal responsibility with a need to finance Israel's ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza.
- War spending will not be limited in budget
- Broad cuts of 35 billion shekels planned in 2025
The minister has been under pressure from the Bank of Israel and investors seeking clarity on fiscal policy for next year. The central bank has been calling for spending cuts and tax hikes or other ways to bring in more revenue. But Smotrich has said that during a war it was wrong to raise taxes.
Speaking at a news conference, Smotrich outlined only his main focus points while formulating the budget, which he said would be ready for a cabinet vote in early October and an initial parliamentary vote in mid-November. Full approval by lawmakers would be at the end of December, he said.
"We are in the longest and most expensive war in Israel's history with expenses of 200 to 250 billion shekels ($54-$68 billion)," Smotrich said.
"We are not limiting war spending and we will support the war effort until victory," he said. "Without victory, there will not be security and without security there will no economy."
And as you know, money without wares is worthless. The war is financed through buying equipment and paying soldiers.
at the moment, US green toilet paper can still be used to buy Chinese wares.
Only at the rate China is spending back on mainly US products. Look at what China want to import and now look at what US doesn't want to sell to China any longer.
If they could do so at a scale that matters for Israel, why haven't they done so? Because there's no one in China willing to take an order like that from US/Israel for as much as 67 billion $... Money without the license to buy does nothing, especially when it's not even yuan.
Where can US convert 67 billion $ to 250 billion shekels worth of weapons, air defenses, training and industrial assistance to Israel? You think China will grant Israel licenses for ammo and air defenses?? Yeah maybe if Israel bootlicked China, not otherwise.
Interesting thing about the proto-Jews is that they themselves, according to the Torah, came from Egypt and invaded Canaan (Palestine). Moses led them out of Egypt. Some time after Moses, according to the Torah or Tanakh (I can't remember), they invaded and killed 30 kings in one day in Canaan and established the preceding nations of Judah, Israel, Moab, etc. These preceding nations also were not Jewish, just as Moses was not Jewish. Judaism began with the Kingdom of Judah much later.
Pretty much showing to the world that the Israeli are a bunch of Nazis. Really, this isn’t going to end well for these…. Monsters with no positive aspects what so ever and the sickening thing is that the only reason they can get away with this is only because of the USA
