A year ago, when Israel’s defense exports reached $14.8 billion in 2024, officials at the Ministry of Defense looked ahead to 2025 with concern and uncertainty about whether such an achievement could be replicated. Looming over those expectations was the accelerating international campaign to delegitimize Israel over its actions in Gaza, as casualty figures and images of destruction reverberated across the world. The French government, for example, went out of its way to obstruct the participation of Israeli defense companies that were “arming the IDF” at an international defense exhibition in Paris.
