In a significant shift in military relations, the United States plans to resume military sales to Turkey, which has been a contentious issue since Ankara's acquisition of Russian S-400 air defense systems.
This decision comes after President Donald Trump announced the lifting of sanctions imposed on Turkey seven years ago, paving the way for Turkey's reintegration into the F-35 stealth jet program.
However, this move has not been welcomed by Israel, which is concerned that Turkey's enhanced military capabilities could destabilize the region further.
