Many countries in the world condemn Israel’s actions, do not even recognize Israel’s existence.
However, on the other hand, there are countries that support and even supply weapons to Israel, both selling and cooperating. The following are the countries that supply weapons to Israel.
1. United States of America
Israel has cooperated with the United States (US) on military and economic fronts since 1976.
Launching the Institute for Policy Studies, the US has sold its military equipment and supplies to Israel for a value of $7.2 billion in the last few decades.
In addition, the US also provides free weapons to Israel. Examples are the M-16A1 rifle, grenade launchers, caliber machine guns, and ammunition.
The US is also Israel’s largest arms supplier, with military aid increasing every year.
Washington has repeatedly stressed security guarantees for Israel in the Middle East.
