Behind the data: Israel’s role in arms trade

How does Israel balance arms imports and exports during ongoing conflicts? SIPRI Researcher Zain Hussain explains that Israel remains highly dependent on the USA for major arms imports, particularly combat aircraft, while benefiting from flexibility to integrate its own systems into imported weapons. At the same time, despite ongoing conflicts across the region, Israel has increased its arms exports, driven by strong global demand for air defence systems.
