Will the US sale of F16s to Egypt deter Israel from attacking them?

1) Egypt is not developing nuclear weapons, so Israel has no need or interest in striking Egpyt.

2) Israeli pilots can likely fly the pants off any Egyptian pilot given equal equipment.

They have peace treaty for over 30 years already, i dont see how or why israel would go against it. The peace is good for everyone, Israel and Egypt Alike.

"The peace treaty between Egypt and Israel was signed sixteen months after Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat's visit to Israel in 1977 after intense negotiation. The main features of the treaty were mutual recognition, cessation of the state of war that had existed since the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, normalization of relations and the complete withdrawal by Israel of its armed forces and civilians from the Sinai Peninsula which Israel had captured during the Six-Day War in 1967. Egypt agreed to leave the area demilitarized. The agreement also provided for the free passage of Israeli ships through the Suez Canal, and recognition of the Strait of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba as international waterways.

The agreement notably made Egypt the first Arab state to officially recognize Israel.[1]"

I think you got your question backwards. The giving

of fighter aircraft to Egypt is to placate Egypt from

starting another war against Israel.

Israel said : Egypt army = Israel army power , now but Israel forgot that Egyptian army bigger and Egypt army have one of the best Anti- air systems in the world ( and this information said by USA itself ) which make the best weapon of Israel *the air force* almost useless Egypt army mix between East and west technology (us+Eu & russia) ..... Israel only west

Egypt t can defend themselves without the F-16s ( they have other f-16 kinds a hundreds of it + mirage 2000 .....many other types )

the legend about the undefeated Israel army is not anymore ( Hezbollah + hamas kick their asses with RPG AND AK-74 )
