Johnson Won’t Cancel Jet Sale to Israel Amid Beirut Raid
Washington sources say the Johnson administration decided not to cancel the sale of 50 Phantom jets to Israel despite the Beirut airport raid. Final approval rests with the Nixon administration, with posture tied to Near East developments. The deal, backed by Nixon and Humphrey, faced Johnson’s hesitations over Soviet arms to Egypt and Israeli diplomacy led by Dayan and Eshkol. Deputy PM Allen’s efforts pressured a sale, but Johnson stayed firm.
