No The Israelis will get the best version of F-15... better than the Saudi SA or Qatari QA..... F-15SE Silent Eagle is more advanced and stealthy version....In September 2009, Saudi Arabia was reportedly considering purchasing up to 72 F-15s.[26] Although the F-15SE received initial interest,[27] the less advanced F-15SA was ordered in 2012.....
