Zionist attempts to obstruct Saudi armament (F-15 aircraft deal in 1977-1978 as a model)
Keywords:
Saudi Arabia, America, F-15 aircraft, Zionist entity, oilAbstract
Study objectives: The study aims to clarify the role of the Zionist lobby and its American pressure groups in preventing the American administration and influencing its decisions to prevent arming any Arab country, even those allied with the United States of America, in order to ensure the Zionist military superiority in the region and under the pretext of passing those weapons to the Palestinian resistance groups.
Methodology: The historical analytical method was used to study the American records and documents that dealt with that issue in detail and the disagreements witnessed by the American administration circles between those who support sending those planes to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and those who reject that idea for fear of the security of the Zionist entity.
Results: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia invested the opportunity of calming the situation due to the continuation of peace negotiations between the Zionist entity and Egypt on the one hand, in addition to the increase in Soviet intervention in the Horn of Africa after the fall of the Haile Selassie government in Ethiopia and the advent of a government with communist tendencies, which was accompanied by rising oil prices, and the American administration was unable to pass the aircraft deal until it sent them in one package with an aircraft deal to the Zionist entity.
Recommended: The aircraft issue has proven the great power that the Zionist entity enjoys within the United States of America through the American lobby and pressure groups loyal to it, and this matter is reflected in the foreign policy of the United States of America, as these groups aim primarily to protect the interests and security of the Zionist entity even if this harms American policy and interests in the world. In addition, we are certain through this study that the priority of American interests in the Middle East region is first the Zionist entity, then Iran, then other Arab countries, especially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its main ally, and this is also due to the influence of the Zionist entity.
