| Subject: Israel wary of U.S.-Arab arms deals Mon Jan 04, 2010 4:05 am | |
| The United States has recently signed major arms deals with several Arab States. Israeli officials have expressed concern at the scope and content of the agreements. Among the recipients of the advanced arms included in the agreements are Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The shipments are to include anti-ship and antitank missiles as well as so-called smart and bunker-busting bombs. In December the Pentagon notified Congress of several arms deals it wanted to carry out. The details of the deals were also posted on the Pentagon website. In its report to Congress the Department of Defense noted that none of the deals would "alter the military balance in the region." http://machbirds.blogspot.com/2010/01/israel-wary-of-us-arab-arms-deals.html | |
