    — European countries: 54% — Asia-Pacific: 23% — Arab countries that have normalized ties with Israel under the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords: 12% — North America: 9% — Latin America: 1% — Africa: 1%

    Nearly half the deals were for missiles, rockets and air defense systems, Israel’s defense ministry said.

    Kinda shocked not to see the US higher up. Still, 9% should be 0% and sanctions / human rights abuse trials.
