🔺Israel: The U.S. request for deploying additional refueling aircraft cannot be refused

▪ Israel’s transport minister holds an assessment meeting at Ben Gurion Airport in order to review the U.S. request to dispatch additional refueling aircraft.

▪ Estimates in Israel indicate that the U.S. will want the entry of dozens more refueling aircraft in the near future.

▪ Israel’s Ministry of Transport has warned that if dozens of new refueling aircraft arrive, the request to land them at Ben Gurion cannot be rejected, because the capacity of the air bases where the refueling aircraft are currently stationed will be filled.

▪ Some of these aircraft are reinforcement from the United States, while others come from neighboring countries that have previously been targeted by attacks by the Islamic Republic.
