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.
The New York Times published two articles to review the military power of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the face of the Zionist regime, especially when it comes to retaliation for the regime’s recent airstrike on Iranian consulate in Syria as well as the issue that the United States’ targets unlikely to be on list in possible Iranian attack.
David French, a columnist with The New York Times, wrote that the Zionist is encountering many of the same obstacles that the United States faced in Iraq, and it is repeating many of the same errors.
The decision by the US to not use its veto on Resolution 2728 was influenced by factors such as popular pressure in Western countries against the ceasefire.
