Information shared with Euronews shows European states are likely “aiding and assisting” Israel’s offensive directly:^1
>The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) provided data on arms sales from Europe to Israel between 2013 to 2022, showing Italy and Germany had supplied Israel’s military with crucial weapons and equipment it was now using on the ground in Gaza.
>The UK, meanwhile, has lucrative deals supplying the Israeli Air Force, according to the Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT).
>However, the group said the “most significant” exports are via open licences, which make it difficult to determine exactly what is being transferred due to their “lack of transparency”.
>CAAT pointed to several “concerning” open licences that “could easily involve” military items that might be used in Gaza, such as equipment, software and technology for combat aircraft and helicopters, plus components for artillery, naval guns and combat vessels, missile and munitions equipment and military radars.

Well of course. What did they think the weapons are for? To put them in a museum?
What happened to the months long dragging their feet and only offering humanitarian aid at first like we saw last year.
Well EU definitely shouldn’t support terrorists who hide behind civillians. That’s for sure.
Partners in war crimes. Color me surprised.
“Aiding and assisting”?
Lol thats called selling weapons… This is once more a clickbait shitty article…
Good! I only hope we’ll help them more openly.
Isn’t Israel selling arms to the EU? 🤦♂️
I would kinda rather those guns go to Ukraine ngl
Oh no… Anyway.
Lying headline, those are old contract having nothing to do with aid for the current offensive. Also Europe is the biggest donator to Palestine (in billions of euros) more so than the Arab league.
Vital or lethal?
Aiding Israel in their just war against a terrorist organization that still holds 200 hostages, including Europeans. What is the problem?
