Imports Data Shows 51 Jurisdictions Shipped Arms-Related Goods to Israel

Fifty-one countries and self-governing territories supplied military-related goods to Israel between October 2023 and October 2025, including after the International Court of Justice issued provisional measures in January 2024 citing a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza. The finding comes from an investigation based mainly on Israeli Tax Authority import data, supported by customs records and freedom of information requests.

The data puts the value of those imports at 3.22 billion shekels ($885.6 million), with 91% recorded after the court’s January 2024 ruling.

The analysis counted 2,603 consignments of military-related goods entering Israel over the period. The goods were described in the data as related to ammunition, explosive munitions, weapon parts and armoured vehicle components.

By comparison, military-related imports totalled 1.41 billion shekels ($388.1 million) in the 20 months before October 2023, the investigation said. The figures indicate an increase in the value of such imports during the Gaza war period covered by the data.

Largest suppliers and categories

The United States, India, Romania, Taiwan and the Czech Republic were the five largest suppliers by value, according to the import records cited in the investigation. All five increased shipments during the conflict period covered by the data.

The investigation said arms imports increased after the January 2024 ICJ decision, with the largest share falling under the category of munitions. It added that many governments included in the analysis do not publish detailed statistics on arms exports to Israel, making import-side data a key source for tracking flows.

Embargoes, legal exposure and post-ceasefire shipments

The investigation found that some military-related imports originated from countries that had formally imposed arms embargoes on Israel or partially suspended arms supplies. Despite those restrictions, import records showed continued shipments during the period examined.

Legal scholars cited in the repoSources said governments that continue supplying arms after the ICJ’s January 2024 ruling could face accusations of complicity in international crimes. The ICJ decision also reminded states party to the Genocide Convention of their obligations to act to prevent genocide.

The flow of military-related imports continued after a ceasefire was reached in October 2025, the investigation said. It reported an additional 324.9 million shekels ($89.4 million) in military-related imports in the final two months of 2025.

Further scrutiny is likely to focus on whether additional countries formalize restrictions and on how future customs and import data align with public policy statements on arms transfers.
