Fifty-one Countries Arm Israel During Recent Gaza Conflict

At least 51 countries and territories have continued to supply military-related goods to Israel despite warnings from the International Court of Justice about a potential risk of genocide in Gaza.

According to an investigation by Al Jazeera, imports from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain remained active until October 2025, when a ceasefire was declared. These countries had publicly expressed support for restrictions or embargoes on Israel’s military activities.

The investigation also found a significant increase in imports linked to bullets in the days leading up to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation massacres. During this time, Palestinians who were collecting food were shot and killed by Israeli forces.

The Al Jazeera investigation has uncovered evidence of military-related goods entering Israel from at least 51 countries and territories. The sources of these imports include Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.

The International Court of Justice had previously warned about a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza. However, the court’s warnings were not reflected in the actions of these countries, which continued to supply military-related goods to Israel despite their public statements.

The investigation has shed light on the complex web of international relations and trade that continues to support Israel’s military activities in Gaza.
