Qatar might have quietly resumed negotiations with Washington over a potential purchase of the F-35 stealth fighter, according to a report.

According to repot on December 15, 2025, Qatar has reopened discussions with the United States over a potential acquisition of the F-35 stealth fighter jet, reviving a bid that was rejected roughly five years ago and signaling a possible shift in U.S. policy toward fighter jet sales in the Middle East. The talks are described as already underway and more advanced than in earlier attempts, taking place at a time when the United States is also potentially considering F-35 sales to other countries in the region, including Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
