Reagan sticks to ban on F 16 sales to Israel over Lebanon
The Reagan administration will not deliver 75 F 16 fighters to Israel until Israeli forces leave Lebanon, despite Israeli anger and home front criticism. Israel argues its troops remain for legitimate self defense against PLO terrorism, while Mondale condemns the move as weakening the fight against Soviet influence. U S sources say Israel will upgrade F 4 jets at 900 million dollars as delivery remains blocked. The State Department clarifies Reagan’s stance reflects interpretation of arms export law rather than a legal ruling.
