JERUSALEM. On Thursday, President Joe Biden decided to freeze the sale of 50 F-35 fighter jets to the United Arab Emirates.

The agreement, one of the most important in history, was an important part of the normalization agreement between Israel and the Emirates. At the same time, a major arms deal with Saudi Arabia was suspended. In order to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, the Emirates demanded that Israel refrain from annexing parts of the West Bank, as well as the American plane, which until now had only been delivered to Israel by states in the region. Until recently, the Emirates have been a belligerent party in the Yemeni civil war and are still an active party in the Libyan civil war.
