Israel cannot afford the expensive F-35 stealth warplane, say DEBKAfile's military sources. It will make a big hole in a badly strained defense budget and is widely criticized by military aviation experts. They accuse Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak of surrendering to pressure from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to buy the warplane when it was applied by behind the scenes of Israel-Palestinian peace talks last week.
