2011-12-23 Israel-Palestine-Jordan

Israel has canceled a $141 million defense deal with Turkey, a reflection of the steep deterioration in relations between the former allies, Today's Zaman reported.

Israeli officials said Thursday they are concerned that Turkey could deliver the state-of-the-art airborne intelligence units to third parties hostile to Israel. They said the deal was signed in 2008.

Officials in Israel's Defense Ministry and Elbit Systems, the manufacturer of the system, confirmed the deal was called off. There was no immediate comment from Ankara.
