Permalink U.S. still plans to send F-16s to Egypt in coming weeks

The United States will go through with the delivery of four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt in the coming weeks, U.S. officials told Reuters on Wednesday as Washington deliberated whether to call the ouster of Egypt's elected leader a military coup. - A decision to call last week's overthrow of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy a coup would, by law, require the Obama administration to halt aid to the Egyptian army. Egypt is the second-largest recipient of U.S. aid behind Israel, receiving $1.5 billion a year. The jets were part of that aid package, a U.S. defense official confirmed. One defense official said the delivery of the four F-16s was likely to take place in August. "There is no current change in the plan to deliver F-16s to the Egyptian military," a second U.S. official said on condition of anonymity.
