Netanyahu Reportedly Fears Confronting Trump Over F-35 Sales to Saudi Arabia, Turkey
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Benjamin Caspit, a senior analyst at the Zionist newspaper Maariv, reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is apprehensive about confronting U.S. President Donald Trump over the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Caspit added that Netanyahu prefers to pursue a policy of quiet pressure on the matter due to concerns about damaging relations with the White House.
The analyst noted that if any other president were in office in the United States, Tel Aviv would exert every effort to halt the sale of these fighter jets. However, Netanyahu is unwilling to risk angering Trump.
Trump has been a major supporter of the Zionist regime in all areas, particularly political and military affairs. To date, neither Turkey nor Saudi Arabia has posed a direct threat to Tel Aviv.
During his first term, Trump halted the sale of F-35s to Turkey because Ankara also sought to purchase S-400 systems from Russia. However, this process may be revived during his current term.
Trump has also reportedly approved the sale of the aircraft to Saudi Arabia.
