Israel's Latest Military Tech: Tested in Gaza, Wanted by the West
(Wall Street Journal) Anat Peled - Israel is leveraging the war in Gaza to market its latest military technology and U.S. and European buyers are lining up. Officials from countries including Germany, Norway and the UK flocked to a conference in Tel Aviv last week sponsored by the Israeli Defense Ministry that showcased tested battlefield technology. The turnout - much larger than the previous year - reinforced how Israeli military technology retains its allure regardless of the country's diplomatic isolation over Gaza. European interest comes amid a push to rearm in the face of Russian aggression. Europe is wrestling with concerns that the U.S. is becoming a less reliable partner in NATO and is under pressure to invest more in its own defense. Now with Russia flying drones over NATO members in Europe, people at the conference said some countries feel they are running out of time.
