Israel is the most threatened country, not only in the Middle East but in the whole world, and as such, we need to preserve our superiority.”
Qatar’s request follows the United Arab Emirates stepped up effort to acquire the advanced warplanes after normalization of ties with Israel. The Trump administration has indicated publicly that it is in favour of selling F-35s to the UAE despite Israeli opposition to the deal as a threat to its qualitative military edge which is guaranteed by US law.
The White House and State Department are required to give Congress their opinion as to whether any prospective US weapons sale in the Middle East would threaten Israel’s military advantage.
US officials have said they will find a way to complete the F-35 sale while also maintaining Israel’s edge.
Israel is currently the only Middle Eastern country to receive F-35s; it has ordered 50 and has an option to acquire another 25.
Although Qatar has been mentioned by some as a country that may be among those willing to declare official ties with Israel, and has had unofficial contacts for many years, it appears that the country’s leadership is not in a hurry to join the UAE and Bahrain in normalizing ties in the absence of a comprehensive peace agreement.

As of October 13 , clashes between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces continue in the southern part of the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region , while on the other parts of the frontline Baku and Yerevan limited their military activity to exchange of artillery and aerial strikes .
The humanitarian ceasefire signed by the sides in Moscow formally remains in force , but the terms of the ceasefire are not fulfilled by both sides .
The main point of instability is the town of Hadrut , which Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced to have been ‘ liberated ’ from ‘ Armenian occupants ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to read his tweet and withdraw from the area .
So , now , the Azerbaijani leader is forced to explain what ’ s going on .
On October 12 , he sated that a large group of Armenian special forces attacked the town to make a few selfies for Armenian propaganda , but the attack was repelled .
“ Although from a strategic point of view , it does not matter so much for Armenia .
They just take such a step to go there and take a selfie or report to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this large group , ” Aliyev stressed .
The Armenian military says that the town is still in the hands of its forces and that it has successfully repelled another Azerbaijani attack there .
Turkey has been openly threatening Armenia with a joint Turkish-Azerbaijani advance if it does not surrender the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region to Azerbaijan .
Meanwhile , Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said that “ Baku can not wait for justice for another 30 years ” claiming that “ Turkey is ready to support the fair position of the Azerbaijani side.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh is not resolved in the near future , then the next step will be “ the Azerbaijani-Turkish movement aimed at returning their land.
” Sources affiliated with Turkish-backed militant groups in Syria say that Ankara has been preparing a new deployment of militant groups ’ members to Azerbaijan to support its war with Armenia .
If the numbers of 1,500-2,000 fresh militants that are set to come to Azerbaijan are confirmed , this will not only make the estimated number of Turkish proxies deployed there from 4,000-6,000 , but also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its influence to motivate Azerbaijan to opt for the scenario of a further escalation .
Likely , the Turkish leadership seems the war in Karabakh as an important turning point , which , in the event of military success , will turn into the leading power in the Southern Caucasus and give additional momentum to its geopolitical expansion .

According to the Armenian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ directly involved in the war .

The militants were deployed on Nagorno-Karabakh’s frontlines by Turkey in order to support the Azerbaijani attack on the region, which started on September 27.
According to the UK-based monitoring group, the bodies of 78 militants, who were killed in Nagorno-Karabakh battle, were sent back to Syria.
The number of Turkish-backed Syrian militants currently fighting Armenian forces on Nagorno-Karabakh’s frontlines is reportedly over 1,450. More are allegedly being recruited by Turkey. The militants are being offered a monthly salary of $1,500 to 2,000.
“Young Syrians are being recruited by recruitment offices supported by the Turkish intelligence or the leaders of Turkish factions in Turkish influence areas, in north and northwestern Syria,” the SOHR said.
Syrian militants heading to Azerbaijan were told that they will “guard” oil facilities. Nevertheless, most of them ended up getting deployed on Nagorno-Karabakh’s hottest fronts, where they are being used as cannon fodder.
Despite the presence of overwhelming evidence confirming the deployment of Syrian militants in Nagorno-Karabakh, Turkey and Azerbaijan continue to deny this.
