"The experimental F-35 “is the only one in the world and unique for the IAF,” a source in the air force recently told the Post, adding that Israel wanted this plane so that it could integrate into it and certify unique Israeli technology."
"And while the US has kept most of the advanced jets’ capabilities confidential, sources have told the Post that there are things that Israel knows about the plane that even Washington doesn’t."
That's all in alignment with the USA's security agreement with Israel to maintain its QME or qualitative military edge in the middle east.
The other emerging issue is the potential procurement for F22 raptors which will not only insure the QME but will further US production and jobs at home:
