— European countries: 54% — Asia-Pacific: 23% — Arab countries that have normalized ties with Israel under the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords: 12% — North America: 9% — Latin America: 1% — Africa: 1%

Nearly half the deals were for missiles, rockets and air defense systems, Israel’s defense ministry said.

Kinda shocked not to see the US higher up. Still, 9% should be 0% and sanctions / human rights abuse trials.

A big reason Israel exists is to launder military aid and spending into the bank accounts of western allies.

The F-35 has it’s very own Israeli special edition dedicated to meeting the demands of the IDF.
