Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported48m ago
Israel is reportedly seeking additional defense capabilities from the United States as compensation following Washington's approval of a sale of 48 F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. Israeli officials intend to request advanced military systems to ensure the maintenance of the country's qualitative military edge in the region.
The request follows the Trump administration's decision to authorize the fighter jet deal with Riyadh. Israeli authorities are currently coordinating with the U.S. government to secure these supplementary weapons systems to offset the potential regional shift in air power dynamics.
