US President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that Washington will be selling F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, whose Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was set to visit the White House on Tuesday.
Israel is thought to not oppose such a sale in principle, while hoping that the US would condition it on Saudi Arabia agreeing to join the Abraham Accords.
The New York Times reported last week that there are concerns in the American intelligence community that the F-35’s sensitive technology could reach China, while also upsetting the balance of power in the Middle East.
