Israel's largest defense firm discussed sales to UAE

Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest defense contractor, discussed selling over $1 billion in military equipment to the UAE, including drones and aircraft. The UAE requested $180 million in drones after a 2022 Houthi missile attack and later explored $1.3 billion for 45 aircraft. Improved military ties since the 2020 Abraham Accords and U.S. support for the deal are highlighted.
