The United States will ensure Israel retains a military advantage in the Middle East under any future U.S. arms deals with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday.
"The United States has a legal requirement with respect to qualitative military edge. We will continue to honor that," Pompeo told reporters after a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
