PM denies claims of furtive F-35 agreement
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu presents a map of flight paths opened up by the Sudan and Gulf deals, which will significantly shorten trips to South America and Southeast Asia and the Far East.
“We are redrawing the map of the Middle East,” he says.
He denies claims that there had been a secret part of the UAE deal in which he agreed to the US selling the UAE F-35 fighter jets.
He calls claims of talks held behind the back of Defense Minister Benny Gantz, which Gantz himself alleged, “baseless.”
Netanyahu says Israel did not agree to pull its objections from the arms sales until Gantz returned from meetings in Washington on Friday.
