The decision arose from concerns about the \u201cend-use of the 2,000-pound bombs and the impact they could have in dense urban settings (like Rafah)\u2026,\u201d a U.S. official said.<br \/>\nIn 2016 the U.S. and Israel signed a third 10-year Memorandum of Understanding covering the 2018-2028 period providing for $38 billion in military aid, $33 billion in grants to buy military equipment and $5 billion for missile defense systems. Israel received 69% of its military aid from the U.S. in the 2019-2023 period, according to a March fact sheet issued by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).<br \/>\nIsrael is the first international operator of the U.S. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, considered the most technologically advanced fighter jet ever made. Israel is in the process of buying 75 F-35s and \u2013 as of last year \u2013 had taken delivery of 36, paying for them with U.S. assistance.<br \/>\nThe U.S. has also helped Israel develop and arm its Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system, developed after the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah. The United States has repeatedly sent Israel hundreds of millions of dollars to help replenish its interceptor missiles.<br \/>\nFurther, Washington has helped fund the development of Israel\u2019s \u201cDavid\u2019s Sling\u201d system, designed to shoot down rockets fired from distances of 100 km to 200 km (62 miles to 124 miles) away.<br \/>\n<strong>GERMANY<\/strong><br \/>\nGerman defense export approvals for Israel rose nearly tenfold to 326.5 million euros ($351 million) in 2023 compared with 2022 as Berlin treated permit requests as a priority after Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war.<br \/>\nHowever, since the start of this year, as international criticism of Israel\u2019s war in Gaza mounted, the German government appears to have approved considerably fewer exports of war weapons to Israel. Deliveries worth just 32,449 euros have so far been allowed, the economics ministry said on April 10 in response to a query in parliament from a left-wing lawmaker.<br \/>\nGermany primarily supplies Israel with components for air defense systems and communications equipment, according to the German press agency dpa, which first reported the 2023 figures.<br \/>\nWeapons exported included 3,000 portable anti-tank weapons and 500,000 rounds of ammunition for automatic or semi-automatic firearms. Dpa said that most of the export licenses were granted for land vehicles and technology for the development, assembly, maintenance and repair of weapons.<br \/>\nGermany has provided about 30% of Israel\u2019s military aid in 2019-23, according to SIPRI figures.<br \/>\n<strong>ITALY<\/strong><br \/>\nA Foreign Ministry source confirmed on May 9 that Italy, one of Israel\u2019s three biggest arms suppliers along with the U.S. and Germany, had halted new export approvals since the start of the Gaza war. \u201cEverything stopped. And the last orders were delivered in November,\u201d the source told Reuters.<br \/>\nUnder Italian law, arms exports are banned to countries that are waging war and those deemed to be violating international human rights.<br \/>\nIn March, Defense Minister Guido Crosetto had said Italy has continued to export arms to Israel but that only previously signed orders were being honoured after checks had been made to ensure the weaponry would not be used against Gaza civilians.<br \/>\nIn December alone, Italy sent 1.3 million euros worth of arms to Israel, triple the level of the same month in 2022.<br \/>\nItaly provided about 1% of Israel\u2019s military aid in 2019-23, according to SIPRI\u2019s report, reportedly including helicopters and naval artillery.<br \/>\n<strong>BRITAIN<\/strong><br \/>\nBritain is not one of Israel\u2019s bigger suppliers. Unlike the U.S., Britain\u2019s government does not give arms directly to Israel but rather licenses companies to sell \u2013 often components into U.S. supply chains, such as for F-35 jets.<br \/>\nLast year, Britain granted export licenses to sell at least 42 million pounds ($52.5 million) of defense equipment to Israel. The licenses were for items including munitions, unmanned air vehicles, small arms ammunition and components for aircraft, helicopters, and assault rifles.<br \/>\nPrime Minister Rishi Sunak told parliament on Thursday that Britain ran one of the world\u2019s strictest licensing control regimes in which it periodically reviewed advice on Israel\u2019s commitment to humanitarian law. \u201cWith regard to export licenses, following the most recent assessment, it is unchanged,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nSome left-wing opposition parties have called on the government to revoke the export licenses in the face of Gaza\u2019s soaring death toll and to publish the legal advice used to reach the assessment that arms exports could continue.<br \/>\n<strong>CANADA<\/strong><br \/>\nCanada\u2019s government said on March 20 that it had stopped licensing arms exports to Israel since Jan. 8, and the freeze would continue until Ottawa could ensure the weapons are used in accordance with humanitarian law. Many of Gaza\u2019s dead from Israeli bombardments and ground offensives have been civilians, according to international rights groups.<br \/>\nCanada had since the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 authorized at least C$28.5 million ($21 million) worth of new permits, more than the value of such permits allowed in the previous year.<br \/>\n<strong>NETHERLANDS<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Dutch government halted shipments of parts for F-35 jets to Israel from warehouses in the Netherlands in February, after an appeals court ruling determined that there was a risk the parts were being used in connection with violations of humanitarian law. The government is appealing that ruling.<br \/>\n(Reuters)weapons. weapons shipment, Israel, Gaza<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States suspended a shipment of heavy, bunker-busting bombs to Israel amid concerns about their impact in dense urban settings like Rafah.
