BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:00 P.M.) – Iraeli Minister of Settlements Affairs Tzachi Hanegbi stated that Israel opposes selling “even one screw” of advanced aircraft to any country in the Middle East, including the UAE.

Hanegbi, who belongs to the Likud Party and is considered one of the closest allies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said in an interview with Israeli Radio 103 FM on Tuesday: “We oppose selling even one screw from one (stealth) plane to any country in the Middle East. Regardless of whether peace is between us and her or not. ”

He continued, “This is our position, and it was announced earlier and clarified in recent weeks.”

The minister expressed his belief that even if the United States supplied advanced F-35 aircraft to the Emirates despite Israeli opposition to the deal, it would find a way to ensure Israeli military superiority in the region.

He recalled Washington’s deal with Turkey on the F-35, which was later canceled due to Turkey’s purchase of Russian S-400 air defense systems.

He said, “The Americans are not required to agree to our position. They did not agree to it when they decided to sell the stealth fighters to the Turks, who are not considered our enemy, but who we think we might have some kind of conflict with them.”

Hanegbi denied that the F-35 deal between the United States and the UAE was part of the conditions of the normalization agreement with Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had spoken publicly of his opposition to the UAE’s acquisition of advanced American weapons, which caused the cancellation of the Emirati-Israeli-American talks at the United Nations headquarters recently, according to media sources.

So, my brothers -
We would never have got this jet, under any circumstances.
I recently posted an article in which Turkey was classified as the greatest threat in the middle east of Israel, and how MOSSAD, together with the UAE, has been actively demonizing turkey in the western media for about 2 years and making it an enemy... ergo none of this has anything to do with the S400 I guess

UAE has to feel very humiliated, I can't even imagine how it has to be... this is a total farce - a sad story - they sold everything they pretended to stand for, and lost their faces in front of the whole Muslim Arab population - in hope, to get those jets... man... just man -
it is an exclusive Israeli superior-fighter - the only country which could also get those F35 is Greece - because it is a non-muslim, European country - a tool against "Enemies"
