Israel Concerned Over F-35 Sale to Riyadh
Reports indicate that the U.S. State Department's approval to sell Saudi Arabia 48 F-35 Lightning fighter jets valued at approximately $24.3 billion has raised concerns in Israel about losing its military superiority in the region. Israeli officials expressed their worry that the deal could disrupt the military balance and make surprise operations more difficult, particularly given the advanced sensor capabilities of the aircraft. Conversely, Washington emphasized that the deal would enhance Saudi Arabia's deterrent capacity and contribute to Gulf stability, asserting that it would not impact the regional balance of power. The agreement awaits congressional approval within 30 days before it can be officially implemented.
