Israel defense ministry says arms exports hit all time high in 2024
JERUSALEM: Israel's defense ministry said Wednesday that its arms exports hit an all-time high of more than $14.7 billion in 2024, with a sharp rise in deals with Arab Gulf states, despite international criticism of Israel's ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza.
'Israel again reached an all-time peak in defense exports in 2024, marking the fourth consecutive record-breaking year in the scope of defense agreements,' the ministry, which oversees and approves the exports of Israel's defense industries, said in a statement.
