How US law protects Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge

US law, specifically the 2008 Naval Vessel Transfer Act, codifies the policy of Qualitative Military Edge (QME) to ensure Israel maintains superior military capabilities over regional rivals. This policy, which originated after the 1967 war and was explicitly used by the Reagan administration, involves billions in US military aid and restrictions on arms sales to other Middle Eastern states to preserve Israel's technological and quantitative advantage.
