Israel gives consent to US sale of F-35 fighter jets to UAE
Expected sale would make UAE first Arab nation to possess the stealth warplanes
October 25, 2020
Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday appeared to confirm that Israel has given its consent for the United States to sell F-35 fighter jets to the UAE following the recent agreement establishing diplomatic relations between the Mideast countries.
The expected sale would make the UAE the first Arab nation - and just the second country in the Middle East after Israel - to possess the stealth warplanes. Netanyahu has repeatedly insisted the deal establishing ties with the UAE amounted to “peace for peace” and that arms deals were not part of the agreement. But UAE officials have indicated there were understandings on the matter, and President Donald Trump has said the US was considering the UAE request for the planes.
