A Foreign Ministry statement expressed concern over reports that Britain will provide the Saudis with Tornado jet fighters, Hawk jet trainers and other military hardware in a package totaling at least $3 billion. Israel also criticized what it called Britain’s intention to sell arms to Jordan, saying the sales to both nations would undermine Mideast stability.
