US aid for Israel if it abrogates planes deal with China

The Israeli daily Haartez issued on Monday said that the US will offer Israel financial and military aids against abrogating the Phalcon airborne radar system deal with China.

The paper quoted a US source as saying ""Scrapping the deal soon would convince Congress that Israel is operating out of friendship for the United States and an understanding of its interests, and could find expression in an increase in the upcoming aid legislation."

Worthy mentioning the cost of the Israeli-Chinese deal is estimated at US $ one quarter of billion and that China has so far paid quarter of this sum. The Israeli radio reported.
