Israel Demands Unprecedented Compensation for F-35 Sale to Saudi Arabia
The United States has informed the Prime Minister's Office of its intention to approve a massive deal for the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, valued at approximately $25 billion. In response to this potential transaction, Israel's defense establishment is demanding unprecedented compensation. This compensation package includes classified weaponry, space technology, and future interceptors.
The Israeli demand is a direct reaction to the US plan to supply advanced stealth aircraft to Saudi Arabia, a move that could significantly alter the regional military balance. The defense establishment views the potential sale as a threat to Israel's qualitative military edge in the Middle East. The specific nature of the requested compensation highlights Israel's desire to maintain its technological and strategic superiority.
