Slightly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While Meretz might agree with the idea of addressing the deficit, their primary focus is on social and environmental issues, as well as peace negotiations. They are not likely to strongly support increasing military spending even after the deficit is reduced, as they prioritize other areas of spending.

Disagree

Increase

Meretz is a left-wing political party in Israel that generally supports diplomacy and peace negotiations over military actions. They are more likely to advocate for social and environmental issues rather than increasing military spending. However, they do recognize the need for a strong defense, so their disagreement is not absolute.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Meretz is an Israeli political party, and their focus is on Israel's defense and regional issues. They are unlikely to support the creation of a European military defense system, as it does not directly address Israel's security concerns and is not within their primary area of interest.
