LAST month the United States approved a US$20bil (RM86bil) arms sale to Israel, including over 50 F-15 fighter jets, advanced air-to-air missiles and other military equipment.
The move, aimed at bolstering Israel’s long-term defence capabilities, will take years to complete, with initial deliveries expected around 2026 and the first jets arriving by 2029. Washington justifies this action as necessary to safeguard US security and support Israel’s defence against significant threats in the Middle East, particularly from Iran.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
