Questions About Fighter Jets

I have just a few initial questions about this proposed exchange:

1. Is the number of illegal settlements that can be erected in a period of 90 days somehow equivalent, in terms of qualitative military edge, to 20 advanced fighter jets?
2. Is continued building in East Jerusalem vital for Israeli security, no matter how many fighter jets the state possesses?
3. Do pauses in settlement-building embolden the Iranian regime and cause it to forget about Israel’s nuclear stockpile?

Additional questions might be posed to U.S. taxpayers, such as whether the Israeli ability to break the sound barrier over Lebanon is a personal priority.
