Defense Minister Benny Gantz presented U.S. President Joe Biden with clandestine defense agreements Israel has with Arab countries with which it does not have official diplomatic ties, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
The report also noted that talks to establish a joint regional air defense alliance between Israel and some Arab countries have slowed recently, amid concerns from some of the Arab nations involved.
Biden administration officials told the newspaper that the United States would assist Israel in developing a laser-based air defense system.
