UAE Suspends Fighter Jet Deal with France Amid Arrest of Telegram Founder

According to SAEDNEWS, The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has halted the purchase of 80 fighter jets from France following the recent arrest of Pavel Durov, the founder of the messaging app Telegram, in Paris. This move has raised concerns about future military collaboration between the two nations.

Reports indicate that the UAE is considering a complete stop to all military and technical cooperation with France due to Durov's detention. The UAE government is closely monitoring the situation and has urged French authorities to grant Durov, a UAE citizen, access to necessary consular services.

The UAE Foreign Ministry has expressed its demand for prompt assistance for Durov, who was taken into custody at Le Bourget airport. This issue has led to significant tension, prompting the UAE to freeze the fighter jet contract as they assess the implications of Durov's arrest.

As the situation develops, many are watching to see how it will impact UAE-France relations and any future defense agreements.
