Israeli Security Exports Hit $14.8 Billion as Boycott Concerns Grow

Israel’s security industries exported $14.8 billion worth of weapons last year, according to a report by Calcalist. More than half of those exports went to Europe.

The same report says the industry’s momentum is being tempered. In a quoted passage, the industry says that “in the small and medium industries, the hidden boycotts from countries around the world are actually felt,” and that “deals are much harder for them to promote.” The source does not identify which countries are involved or describe the boycotts in further detail.

The report also notes an upcoming test for the industry at the French Air Show this month. It does not describe the test’s scope or outcome. Honest dealing is central to trade that is under public scrutiny (Proverbs 11:1).
