Biden Administration Considers $18 Billion Deal to Sell Fighter Jets to Israel
Biden Administration Considers Massive F-15EX Fighter Jet Sale to Israel amid Gaza Conflict Disagreements
The Biden administration and Israel have had some disagreements during the fighting in Gaza. But now, it’s reported that President Biden might approve the sale of 50 American-made F-15EX fighter jets to Israel, along with upgrade kits for their existing planes. This deal could be worth more than $18 billion. It’s seen as a sign that the U.S. supports Israel’s military, even if some in the Biden administration criticize what Israel is doing in Gaza.
This sale will be talked about a lot in Congress. Some Democrats don’t agree with giving Israel so much military aid until they allow more help for Palestinians. But for Boeing, the company that makes the planes, this is good news. The U.S. Air Force had planned to buy fewer F-15EX fighter jets, so this sale helps them too.
F-15EX Fighter Jets Set to Strengthen Israel’s Air Defense Despite Potential Congressional Debate
The F-15EX fighter jets will be a big upgrade for Israel’s air force. These planes are really good in battles, and Israel has used similar ones for a long time. Even though there might be some arguments in Congress, it’s unlikely they’ll stop this sale. So, it seems Israel will soon have these new planes to help defend itself.
