U.S. Congress members from both sides of the aisle have introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would grant President Donald Trump the authority to allow Israel access to B‑2 stealth bombers and bunker‑busting bombs if it becomes clear that Iran is continuing to develop nuclear weapons.

According to the proposed legislation—currently awaiting approval—this would enable unprecedented operational cooperation, including deployment, equipment and training, but without transferring permanent ownership or direct control to Israel.

Israel is one of the leading states of the USA.

... I'm guessing, but they prob have overall better public schools, pubic healthcare, startup funding, etc.

It's like they get federal funding or something, tho they don't pay taxes (duh, they are an independent country).
