The US is your largest trading partner....a bilateral $25 billion annually and growing....and defense is not that big a part of that.
So while Israel will be more free in the future to execute the Phalcon deal, it will do so at the risk of pissing off its largest trading partner. And a lot of trade to Israel from the US is defense related. You have a very robust defense industry....which is highly dependent on US goods and services.
As has been said the US has interests....not friends.
