Pompeo: We’ll honor Israel’s military edge, but are reviewing arms sales to UAE

(Worthy News) – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized on Monday that America was committed to maintaining Israel’s military superiority in the region while appearing to hint at an impending deal by which the Trump administration would provide the United Arab Emirates with advanced fighter jets.

“The United States has a legal requirement with respect to qualitative military edge, and we will continue to honor that,” Pompeo said in a statement to the press delivered alongside Netanyahu in Jerusalem. “We have a 20-plus-year security relationship with the United Arab Emirates as well, where we have provided them with technical assistance and military assistance and we will now continue to review that process.

“We will continue to make sure we are delivering them with the equipment that they need to secure and defend their own people from this same threat,” Pompeo said, referring to Iran. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
