America is undoubtedly sensitive to media reports, especially those tied to the Israeli-Arab conflict and the Mideast.
American diplomatic officials stationed in Israel have already released a statement denying any connection to America’s decision to sell F-16 fighter planes to Egypt and the Ilan Grapel prisoner release deal, which took place on Thursday afternoon, 29 Tishrei, just hours before the American announcement.
The statement said “there is no truth to the reports” linking the sale of the advanced fighter jet to Egypt and the deal to release Grapel, who holds both American and Israeli citizenship.
