As a US citizen in Israel, I do owe some money to the US every year even though I pay more to Israel overall than I would if I only paid the US. This is because the FTC is applied to each dollar of income separately, so in the few places where Israeli taxes are lower than the US I get to pay the US. In a sense you get the worst of both tax regimes.
