Israel has expressed strong opposition to the possibility that the United States might sell advanced F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.
According to Kan News, outgoing Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer visited Washington last week, where he met with senior Trump administration officials and delivered Israel’s message on the matter.
Dermer reportedly made it clear that Israel fears such a sale could lead to the leak of sensitive security information to Russia and China, Saudi Arabia’s strategic partners, and could also undermine Israel’s qualitative aerial edge in the Middle East-a cornerstone of the country’s national security and regional deterrence.
Saudi Arabia has requested to purchase 48 F-35 stealth aircraft from the United States. However, Israeli officials say the initiative has not yet materialized into a concrete deal, and they are awaiting a meeting between Donald Trump and Saudi Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman in the coming week.
President Trump addressed the issue over the weekend, saying he would consider approving the sale, noting that a decision could be made during bin Salman’s visit to Washington next week.
“They want to buy a lot of planes,” Trump said, adding that he hopes Saudi Arabia will join the Abraham Accords.
As crown prince set to visit White House, US president says ‘they wanna buy a lot of jets,’ hopes Riyadh will join Abraham Accords
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump on Friday said that he was considering agreeing to a deal to supply Saudi Arabia with F-35 stealth fighter jets, which are made by Lockheed Martin.
“They wanna buy a lot of jets,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
“I’m looking at that. They’ve asked me to look at it. They want to buy a lot of ’35’ — but they want to buy actually more than that, fighter jets.”
The potential sale comes as Trump plans to host Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House next week, when they are expected to sign economic and defense agreements.
Asked about the talks, Trump told reporters it’s “more than meeting, we’re honoring” Saudi Arabia.
He repeated that he hopes Saudi Arabia will soon join the Abraham Accords, which have normalized relations between Israel and Muslim-majority nations. Riyadh has resisted such a step absent agreement on a roadmap to Palestinian statehood.
A Pentagon intelligence report has raised concerns over the potential F-35 deal, warning that China could acquire the aircraft’s technology if the sale proceeds, the New York Times reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the assessment.
