Israel allowed more countries to buy its defense exports last year as European and NATO arms spending rose following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and US-brokered regional agreements led to increased deals.
Some 61 nations were given the go-ahead to purchase Israeli-made armaments and ammunition, compared with 42 in 2020, according to the Defense Ministry. In the category of unmanned aerial vehicles and drones, 56 were authorized, up from 40 two years earlier.
