A plane is a sum of its parts. And a plane has many parts. And many owners (ip).
This have layers. Re US; buying an aircraft from US needs congressional approval; so acceptance of the near entirety of American political system. An aircraft with ITAR components, so an aircraft that's under American export restrictions require US State Dept approval, so an acceptance of the government of the time.

Things will get a lot more complicated going forward as there is a bill to increase the level of integration between the US and Israel military joint development. Possibly the US will use more and more of Israel made components in the future which will need approval of Israel. This can surely limit the clientele of American made war machines.
