Israel will disagree any US plan to sell F-35 warplanes to Qatar, Israeli minister says

Israel will oppose any U.S. plan to sell F-35 warplanes to Qatar, Israel’s intelligence minister said on Sunday, citing a need to maintain Israeli military superiority in the region.

Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen made the comments on Israeli Army Radio when asked about a Reuters report that Qatar had submitted a formal request to Washington to buy stealthy F-35 fighter jets, reported by Reuters.

 

Asked whether Israel would oppose such a sale, Cohen said: “The answer is yes. Our security and military superiority in the region are the most significant things for us. Our region has still not turned into Switzerland.”

 

The Qatari request follows an August deal between the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates in which Washington agreed to consider giving the Persian Gulf state approval to buy F-35s in a side deal to a U.S.-brokered agreement called the Abraham Accord to normalise diplomatic ties with Israel.
