Defence deal with Israel

By Kesava Menon

MANAMA (Bahrain) JULY 17. India and Israel yesterday signed a defence deal worth $ 2 billion, the newspaper Haaretz reported today.

The deal is said to include the purchase of three Phalcon early warning aircraft, surface-to-surface missiles and air- surveillance radar by India.

It also provides for cooperation between Israel Aircraft Industries and the HAL. It is not clear whether Israel has settled the matter of the Phalcon sales to India with the U.S. administration.

Washington had persuaded Israel not to go ahead with the sale of these aircraft to China.
