Israel Will Not Oppose U.S. F-35 Sale to UAE
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Friday that he would not oppose the U.S. sale of "certain weapon systems" to the UAE, an apparent reference to F-35 stealth fighter jets. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz returned to Israel on Friday from meetings with U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper and briefed Netanyahu on deals reached for the "procurement of advanced weapon systems that will significantly upgrade Israel's military capabilities, maintain its security and its military advantage in the region, as well as its qualitative military edge in the coming decades."
