French arms sales to Israel

"French arms sales to Israel are "in total contradiction" of European Union rules on the defence industry, the author of a new study has said. Between 2003 and 2007 France issued licences worth more than 446 million euros (623 million dollars) for arms exports to Israel. This made France by far the largest supplier of weapons to Israel in the EU." (thanks Farrah)
