Israel’s Defense Ministry Director-General Eyal Zamir has wrapped up a working visit to Washington, where he discussed the purchase of new squadrons of top-tier, US-made fighter jets and attack helicopters, in addition to munitions for the crisis in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Tel Aviv plans to procure a new 25-strong squadron of F35i stealth fighter jets, a squadron of 25 F-15IA fighter jets, and a squadron of 12 Apache helicopters, according to Israeli media.

The Times of Israel refuted a report by Channel 12 that said a final deal has already been signed but said Israel is pushing to receive the arms sooner.

The senior Israeli official, who met with top Pentagon and State Department officials as well as executives from major US arms manufacturing companies in Washington, also discussed the continued supply of US-made munitions for the incursion in Gaza.
