European Boycott Affects Israeli Supplies
Haaretz newspaper revealed that the secret and public European boycott imposed on Israel directly affects its capabilities in developing and outfitting its military, especially the navy. Countries like Norway, Denmark, and France refused to supply German shipyards, which are equipped to build Israeli submarines and warships, with defensive components. This has led to delays in the delivery of the "Eilat Dagon" submarine, a setback in the production of subsequent submarines, as well as restrictions on Israeli ships passing through their ports during voyages. The Israeli military expresses concerns about a potential naval blockade aimed at it, due to its deteriorating ability to protect its maritime interests, which have come to be considered a vital strategic depth—especially amid increasing maritime threats and the reaffirmation that the sea is Israel’s "strategic depth."
