In the face of Iran's race to obtain nuclear weapons, the Israel Air Force has expressed newfound interest in receiving the F-22 a US-developed fifth generation stealth fighter jet and has requested that the Defense Ministry present the request on its behalf to the Pentagon. While the sale or transfer of F-22s to Israel did not come up in talks recently between Defense Minister Amir Peretz and US Defense Secretary Robert Gates, defense officials told the Jerusalem Post that Israel would ask to receive the aircraft in order to retain its "military edge" in the Middle East. Gates was in Israel for talks with government officials on a range of key strategic issues including American plans which Israel has objected to - to sell smart bombs to Saudi Arabia. The F-22 formally entered operational service in the US Air Force in December 2005 but has not yet been sold outside the US due to a federal law which barred export sale of the aircraft. Last March, however, Congress lifted the nine-year ban on its sale, potentially clearing the path for an Israeli purchase of what is considered the most advanced fighter jet in the world today.
