War Experience Boosts Sales But International Backlash Looms
The US-backed ceasefire in Gaza has brought a tenuous end to two years of war, with mixed implications for Israel’s defense industry. While the war provided valuable combat experience for Israeli military equipment, it also prompted an international backlash that may impact sales. According to Israel’s Ministry of Defense, sales reached record levels in 2024, with 54 percent of exports going to Europe. However, the European market may be affected by the backlash, and Israel is looking to increase its air defense footprint abroad, with potential deals in Greece and other countries.
