U.S. to sell F-35 jets to UAE as part of secret clause in Israel ties agreement

The clause lifts long-standing Zionist regime’s opposition to the sale of the strategic weapons systems to other countries in the region, according to U.S. and Emirati sources.

The United States had traditionally refrained from selling advanced weapons systems to Arab countries to maintain Zionist regime’s military superiority.

The establishment of full diplomatic relations between Zionist regime and the UAE was announced earlier this month, in a deal that includes the suspension of Zionist regime’s plans to annex parts of the West Bank.

The sources confirmed that Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed conditioned the agreement on the multi-billion-dollar arms sale.

Zionist Regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the annexation was still on the table at a later date despite the agreement to halt the move.

But UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said last week that the agreement dealt annexation a "death blow" and White House aide Jared Kushner said Monday that the U.S. would not be giving approval for such a move "for some time." 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in response that there has been no change in Zionist regime’s position opposing the sale of tie-breaking weapons to any Mideast nation.

In the wake of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the United States gave assurances to Zionist regime that it would be able to maintain military superiority and that no sale of advanced weapons systems would be made to any other Middle East country without Zionist regime’s agreement.

These assurances had been observed ever since, until the U.S. deal.

Trump had publicly stated his intention to sell strategic weapons to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, but was blocked after Congress passed an arms embargo on such a sale last year.
