Israel To Offer China $230 Million Compensation for Aborted Phalcon Deal


Defense Ministry Director General Amos Yaron and deputy director general for international relations Yequti'el Mor will leave for China tonight. The two will hold discussions with senior Chinese defense officials in an attempt to try to solve the Phalcon dispute.

China is demanding Israel pay over $1 billion — more than the Phalcon deal was worth — to compensate for economic and operational damages caused by the cancellation of the sale. Israel will apparently offer a sum closer to the value of the basic deal to deliver one plane — $230 million.

Israel held meetings with the US Administration to discuss a possible US subsidy of the compensation. The US rejected this possibility, even though former President Bill Clinton pressured former Prime Minister Ehud Baraq to cancel the deal at the Camp David summit in July 2000.

China is concerned that Israel intends to sell the early-warning system to India, while it has been forced to buy less sophisticated systems from Russia. Israel has been negotiating with India for three years, and the talks are close to a conclusion. India is demanding assurances against a possible cancellation of the deal, while Israel says the US should be the one to provide these assurances.

The Phalcon is a Russian-built Ilyushin IL-76 plane fitted with Elta Electronic Industries' early-warning electronic systems. The plane is currently based at the Israel Aircraft Industries compound at Ben-Gurion Airport. China paid an advance "close to the cost of the deal," and owns the plane. China opposes the sale of the system to India.
