I don’t know and I don’t care. This is about business, not aid or charity. Israeli Aerospace Industries Ltd is going to be paid by the British MOD for their product, and the Israeli defence industry needs foreign customers to pay for their stuff in order to continue to be able to fund their future development world-leading military hardware.
If the Israeli’s wanted to get all butthurt about Britain selling stuff to the Saudis and not paying them off like the Americans do, they could refuse to sell to us, but Britain is more than capable of producing an equivalent piece of equipment itself (and is doing, with the Taranis project) and buying a stopgap from somewhere else in the meantime. Israel has more to gain from this deal than Britain does, ultimately...

Well good for Britain (if only Britian could actually afford to buy what they make). I still dont think Israel should sell even paperclips to UK. And UK is too much of a anti semitic country.

“I don’t know and I don’t care.”

You brought up the point about US selling to Saudi. You should know and you should care.
