Israel to ask Washington for limits on Saudi missile deal
Israel will seek to purchase the F-22 fighter if Washington clears the export of Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) bombs to Saudi Arabia, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

Defense Ministry Diplomatic-Military Bureau head Amos Gilad and IDF Planning Directorate head Maj.-Gen. Ido Nehushtan will be in Washington this week to demand that restrictions be clamped on the proposed sale.
