European boycott affects Israeli military exports
The Israeli military has confirmed that both secret and public European sanctions against Israel are directly affecting the development of its equipment, especially in the navy. These measures obstruct the procurement of components necessary for building submarines and warships, as European countries like Norway, Denmark, and France have refused to supply German shipyards with defense parts. As a result, the delivery of a new submarine called "A.H. Dragon" to Israel has been delayed. The submarine’s journey covered over 8,000 kilometers to avoid European sanctions, and Israeli ships have also been prevented from entering European ports to refuel and supply. This situation signals an attempt to impose a naval blockade on Israel, which could increase maritime insurance costs and harm the economy—particularly following previous attacks on ships and the port of Eilat. The increasing importance of the sea as a strategic depth for Israel underscores the need to protect its military and economic interests.
