Israel has not softened its opposition to any sales of US weapons to the United Arab Emirates, which could reduce its military superiority as part of the normalization of ties between countries by the United States, Reuters reported referring to the press office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“In the talks (on the UAE normalisation deal), Israel did not change its consistent positions against the sale to any country in the Middle East of weapons and defence technologies that could tip the (military) balance,” Netanyahu’s office said.

Earlier Israel and the UAE agreed to normalize relations in a landmark deal in which Izrial pledged to suspend the annexation of Palestinian lands.
