Israel pushes for more fighter jets, attack helicopters, munitions from US
Israel’s Defense Ministry Director-General Eyal Zamir has wrapped up a working visit to Washington, where he discussed the purchase of new squadrons of top-tier, US-made fighter jets and attack helicopters, in addition to munitions for the war on Gaza.
Tel Aviv plans to procure a new 25-strong squadron of F35i stealth fighter jets, a squadron of 25 F-15IA fighter jets, and a squadron of 12 Apache helicopters, according to Israeli media.
The Times of Israel refuted a report by Channel 12 that said a final deal has already been signed but said Israel is pushing to receive the arms sooner.
The senior Israeli official, who met with top Pentagon and State Department officials as well as executives from major US arms manufacturing companies in Washington, also discussed the continued supply of US-made munitions for the war on Gaza.

Les Etats-Unis demandent à la Chine de faire pression sur l’Iran pour que la navigation en mer Rouge redevienne normale ; réponse chinoise : cessez d’aider les criminels sionistes et tout rentre dans l’ordre.
US urges China to help curb Red Sea attacks by Iran-backed Houthis
▻https://archive.ph/2024.01.25-213233/https://www.ft.com/content/bba68661-6c9b-41b5-ab74-d573b3a27c54
On Wednesday, the Chinese foreign ministry said Beijing was calling for a stop to “disturbance to civilian ships” and had “been in close communication with various parties and worked actively to alleviate the tension in the Red Sea”.
However, in veiled criticism of the US and UK attacks on the Houthis, the ministry urged the “relevant parties to avoid adding fuel to the fire”, adding that the UN Security Council had “never authorised the use of force by any country on Yemen”.
The Red Sea tension was also a “spillover” from the Gaza conflict, which should be ended as soon as possible, the ministry said.

  China presses Iran to rein in Houthi attacks in Red Sea: Report
  Chinese officials are putting pressure on their Iranian counterparts to assist in getting the Houthis to stop their attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, Reuters news agency reports.
  Beijing has threatened to limit trade between China and Iran if Tehran doesn’t comply, according to the report, which quotes four anonymous Iranian sources and a diplomat close to the issue.
  “Basically, China says: ‘If our interests are harmed in any way, it will impact our business with Tehran. So tell the Houthis to show restraint’,” one Iranian official said.
  The Financial Times also reported this week that the US has repeatedly asked China to leverage its position to help stop attacks in the vital waterway, through which about 13 percent of global shipping moves.
  The Iran-backed Houthis have been launching attacks on vessels in the Red Sea since November in retaliation for Israel’s war on Gaza.
