I also support Israel but in this case the losers would be American jobs. If we don’t sell these jets European manufactures are ready to step in to fill the orders at a moment’s notice.
European manufacturers have already stepped in in this case of Qatar. France is selling 24 + 12 Rafales. I guess the Israelis are peeved with the fact that the Qatar wants heavy-duty fighters like the F-15 when the F-16 is more than adequate for them.
I really don’t think most of these countries will hitch their bets with only one country/vendor given the way U.S. policy seems to have changed in recent years. Kuwait, the U.A.E, Saudi Arabia, and even Qatar has signed enough deals with both U.S. and European vendors in recent years.
