This article compares the impact of electoral cycles on military spending in Israel and the United States. The analysis of the three major components of the Israeli military budget reveals that elections do influence military expenditures in Israel, though in a very different way than in the United States. Based on these findings, a number of theoretical modifications for the argument about “electoral cycles and defense spending” are proposed
