UAE Sees Israel Deal Clearing Hurdles to It Buying F-35s

The United Arab Emirates’ deal to normalize relations with Israel should sweep away any reservations about the Gulf nation’s request to purchase Lockheed Martin Corp.’s F-35 warplane, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash told reporters on Tuesday.

“If there is any grain of doubt as to why the UAE should get the F-35, I think the Abrahamic Accord should deal with that grain of doubt,” Gargash said in an online briefing.
