Serbia's Role in Arming Israel Amidst Ongoing Conflict

Recent reports have unveiled Serbia's significant involvement in supplying military support to Israel during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. An analysis of air traffic data and customs figures indicates that Serbia has become a crucial player in the arms trade, providing tens of millions of dollars worth of military equipment to Israel. Notably, 15 flights have transported military supplies from Belgrade and Nis to Israel's Nevatim base since the onset of the conflict, reflecting Serbia's rising importance as an arms supplier. The Serbian state-owned arms manufacturer has ramped up its exports, delivering $8 million worth of military equipment in July alone, contributing to a staggering total of $25.5 million in arms supplied to Israel this year.

As the Israeli Defense Ministry reports, over 500 cargo planes have landed in Israel since the conflict began, with a notable portion of these flights originating from Serbia. This unprecedented airlift of ammunition, including shells and missiles, has raised concerns among international bodies, prompting calls from the UN Human Rights Council to halt arms exports to Israel. Despite these appeals, Serbian shipments have persisted, highlighting the complex dynamics of international arms trade and the implications for human rights.

In light of these developments, Serbian officials have remained tight-lipped about the specifics of their arms exports, citing national security concerns. The Serbian Foreign Minister's remarks reflect a delicate balancing act, as Serbia seeks to maintain its relationship with Israel while also addressing international scrutiny. As the conflict continues, the spotlight on Serbia's role in arming Israel underscores the broader geopolitical implications of arms trade and the ethical considerations surrounding military support in times of war.
