Israel has requested that the United States cease supplying Egypt with arms systems, including F-15 fighter aircraft - because Egypt appears to want to use them against Israel. In Egypt\'s last military maneuvers, it identified its \"dummy\" enemy as Israel. Jane\'s Defense Weekly reports that for this reason, Israel wants the American military support stopped.
Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty in 1978, but Israel has long complained that Egypt has been relating to Israel as an enemy. Egypt is currently in violation of the treaty by having recalled its Ambassador to Israel a year ago, and providing no replacement. Jane\'s reports that the U.S. initially refused to respond to Israel\'s request, but later changed its mind after receiving intelligence proof that Israel\'s charges were valid.
