The Trump administration is proceeding with the sale of 48 F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, valued at $24.3 billion, despite warnings from U.S. intelligence agencies that China could acquire or steal the warplane's technology. This move has sparked concerns among lawmakers and some Israeli officials regarding regional military balance and technological security.
