Defense Minister Bnei Gantz ended his visit to Washington last night, which was intended, among other things, to sum up the American "compensation package" for Israel following the sale of the F-35 to the United Arab Emirates.

During his visit, Ganz met with the Secretary of Defense and the U.S. Chief of Staff.

During the visit, Gantz discussed with his colleagues the major procurement deals, including the sale of fighter jets, fighter helicopters and air defense capabilities, as well as armaments that will maintain the IDF's qualitative advantage in the Middle East. At this stage, the Israeli procurement mix was not agreed. To ensure Israel's relative advantage in the Middle East has been ratified.

Israel believes that this is a "critical" visit, since it is possible that additional arms deals will join additional agreements to be signed in the Middle East, and during the visit it was agreed that Israel's qualitative advantage in the Middle East will not be harmed in such cases.

During his visit yesterday, Gantz signed a statement in Washington stating that the United States has a strategic commitment to maintaining Israel's security superiority in the Middle East for decades to come. Gantz signed with Secretary of Defense Israel's commitment to maintaining its security superiority. "

Ganz added: "We are entering an era of normalization in the Middle East, which could help in the face of Iranian aggression in the region. Together with the US and our old and new friendships, we will ensure fruitful cooperation.

I would like to thank the American administration and in particular my friend, the Secretary of Defense, I will tell you who promoted the issue with me. "
