Three sources told the agency that the Qatari request to acquire the planes manufactured by “Lockheed Martin” had been submitted in recent weeks.
Reuters indicated that signing this deal could lead to tension in US relations with both Saudi Arabia and Israel.
The submission of this request comes at a time when, since July 5, 2017, the Gulf region continues to have great tension against the backdrop of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt severing their relations with Qatar, and stopping the maritime, land and air traffic with the emirate, which the 4 countries accused of “supporting terrorism” and transformation. From the Arab region towards Iran, which led to a severe political crisis between the aforementioned countries in addition to a wide media war.
In addition to Saudi Arabia and its allies, this deal is likely to provoke opposition from Israel, as the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks to preserve the “qualitative military victory” of the Israeli forces in the region.
In this context, Netanyahu has repeatedly affirmed his refusal to conclude a similar deal between the United States and the UAE, despite the latter’s conclusion on September 15 of a historic agreement to normalize relations with Israel.
The UAE, which fell into the arms of Israel, had asked to own these planes, but Israel, after Abu Dhabi printed it with it, rejected the deal and asked America not to pass it.
