WASHINGTON, JANUARY 29: Israel is trying to lift the ban on the sale of Arrow anti-tactical missiles to India and Turkey against the wishes of the United States. Former Israeli defence minister Yitzhak Mordechai had passed an order against the sale of the Arrow anti-tactical missile, to satisfy the US.
Reports said that the Israeli Defence ministry has now authorised industry executives to begin discussions with a US aerospace firm on potential partnership arrangements to cover future production and export of the Arrow defence system.
