What Really Happened: Israelis Wary of a US Radar Base in the Negev

Complained one top official, "It's a like a pair of golden handcuffs on Israel."
Some in the upper echelons of the Israeli Defense Force fear that although the radar will enhance Israel's protection against Iran, it may also open up Israel's own military secrets to the Americans.
And Israeli officials expressed concern that the radar's installation may anger Moscow, since its range will enable the U.S. to monitor aircraft in the skies over southern Russia.
