Trump says he'll sell Saudis F-35s as crown prince set to visit White House

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Part of it is that Israel has to be able to maintain their congressionally-mandated qualitative military edge, which Congress does determine that," Dent said.
43% : The security guarantees are viewed by some as part of a larger regional "megadeal" involving normalization with Israel, something Trump will surely push for, even as the Saudi kingdom has refused to do so under the current Israeli leadership.Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Friday that he would discuss the issue with the crown prince."I hope that Saudi Arabia will be going into the Abraham Accords fairly shortly," he said.Earlier this year, Trump signed an unprecedented defense pact with Qatar via executive order that recognizes the “enduring alliance” between the U.S. and Qatar and provides Qatar an explicit security guarantee in the event of “external attack.”
42% : "And so, if the deal goes forward, I think we just have to see how they're going to figure out the best way to ensure Israel can maintain that, as the only country in the Middle East that currently has F-35s.""I think the Israelis are probably pretty uncomfortable with these rumors swirling around without normalization in sight," Dent added.President
40% : But Israel has put up a roadblock to Palestinian statehood, which will undoubtedly cause angst among Arab regional partners who are pushing for sustained peace in Gaza."Our opposition to a Palestinian state in any territory has not changed," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday during his weekly cabinet meeting.
40% : "Gaza will be demilitarized and Hamas will be disarmed, the easy way or the hard way."Netanyahu has long opposed a Palestinian state, saying in recent months that its creation would only reward Hamas and endanger Israel’s security.ABC News' Christopher Boccia contributed to this report.
