Israel to Cease Export of Military Equipment to China and to Implement Wassenaar Arrangement
Haaretz today reported that the Government of Israel will soon sign a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. agreeing that Israel will terminate the planned sale of Harpy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and other defense articles to China and will adopt the export control provisions of the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. The Department of Defense has suspended information sharing with Israel on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program and has launched a review of all arms exports to Israel after learning that Israel had agreed to export UAVs and other military equipment to China.
