Israel is still receiving armaments from the US and Europe while it carries out its military campaign in Gaza.
Details of European nations’ military sales to Israel since the start of hostilities with Hamas on October 7, 2023, have been gathered by Anadolu.
81 percent of the Middle East’s arms imports between 2019 and 2023 came from France, Italy, Germany, and the United States, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), an independent international organisation with its headquarters located in Sweden that conducts research on armaments, disarmament, and conflict.
After its operations in Gaza, Israel increased its military spending by 24 percent to $27.5 billion, making it the second-largest arms buyer in the Middle East.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, warfare between Israel and Hamas has claimed the lives of at least 38,345 individuals.
