Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Croatian Prime Minister
Andrej Plenkovic agreed to push forward with the deal at Davos.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has completed his
latest rounds of meetings in Davos and is flying back to Israel this morning.
Last night he had a working meeting with Croatian Prime Minister Andrej
Plenkovic and they agreed to push forward with the sale of Israel Air Force
F-16 fighter jets to Croatia.
Israel and Croatia have had diplomatic relations for more
than 20 years but so far trade relations have only focused on mutual tourism
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said that the sale of
the F-16 jets will be within the framework of a tender. "This development
is another expression of the deep ties between our two countries," the PMO
said.
Sources close to the deal told "Globes" that
the second hand F-16s will be worth about $500 million, subject to the terms of
the tender.

The F-16 would likely be the retired F-16A/B “Netz” considering the price and the
news that the Israelis were looking for buyers reported by The Drive
I guest the Croatian government did not read
the great analysis written by The Defender "Gripen
C / D MS20 vs F-16 C / D Barak: Technological superiority, considerably simpler
and cheaper exploitation" that clearly stated Gripen was the
better choice of the two.
