| 2020-10-28 |
| [Breaking Defense] TEL AVIV: The United States, pressed by Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz In Washington last week, will grant Israel direct access to highly classified satellites such as the missile detection birds known as SBIRS and ensure Israel gets critical defense platforms in a very short time by using production slots planned for the U.S armed forces. Israeli sources say that the agreement guarantees Israel’s supremacy for decades to come. "I can say that the agreement is something that will help keep Israel safe," one source told me. As an indicator of just how rapidly events are moving, US Defense Secretary Mark Esper will arrive here on Thursday and is scheduled to meet with Gantz A few days before Gantz’s visit, the director general of the Ministry of Defense, Amir Eshel, went to the United States himself and joined Israeli teams already operating there who formulated all the clauses of the compensation package for Israel following the announcement of the possible sale of the F-35 to the Emirates. Those who were in the negotiating rooms between Israel and the United States describe a very high commitment to Israel by their US counterparts. |
