Israeli Leaders Stand Firm Against AWACS Sale to Saudi Arabia
Israeli officials reiterated firm opposition to the Reagan administration’s plan to sell five AWACS planes to Saudi Arabia. Nachman Shai said the visit by Israeli experts to an American radar plane did not alter Israel’s stance. The Pentagon noted the flight was to acquaint Israeli technical and military experts with E-3A capabilities. The sale, worth about 8.5 billion dollars, includes missiles and fuel tanks for 62 F-15 aircraft and may face a veto from Congress by Oct. 30.
