Does selling these weapons make the world a safer place? Or unsafe? The issue extends beyond the United States; last year, Israel also set a record in weapon sales, surpassing $12 billion. This substantial figure includes sales of drones, missiles, rockets, and air defense systems.
Notably, $3 billion or the %12 billion that is, 24% of this total export was to Arab countries. Israel ranks as the 10th largest arms exporter globally, with the top four positions occupied by the United States, Russia, France, and China. The United Kingdom holds the 7th position. What distinguishes these five countries is their status as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
