Gantz, Esper meet for 3rd time in a month, this time in Tel Aviv, on arms sales
(Worthy News) – Defense Minister Benny Gantz lauded an agreement signed with the United States last week, saying it ensured Israel has the capabilities necessary to confront the threats it faces, during a visit to Tel Aviv by US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on Thursday.
“The joint declaration we signed last week means that Israel will have the tools it needs to contend with aggressive and destabilizing forces, making it an even more effective ally to the US and creating the conditions for peace to prosper,” Gantz said following a meeting with Esper.
Gantz was referring to a document the two men signed in Washington last Thursday that reaffirmed American commitment to maintaining Israel’s qualitative military edge, the technical term for military superiority in the Middle East, in light of a proposed sale of American F-35 stealth fighter jets to the United Arab Emirates.
