Scoop: Israel wants Trump to condition F-35 sale to Saudi Arabia on Israel normalization
Israel does not oppose the U.S. selling F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, but wants it be conditioned on the kingdom normalizing its relations with the Jewish state, two Israeli officials said. Why it matters: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) is expected to meet President Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
President Donald Trump said he would sell Saudi Arabia the advanced F-35 fighter jet in a deal that has raised alarms among security experts.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia after decades of enmity could shake up the political and security landscape in the Middle East.
