MORE than 50 countries have continued to supply arms to Israel even after the International Court for Justice ruling, according to a damning new report released on Saturday.
An investigation by Al Jazeera said military supplies from at least 51 countries have continued to reach Israel even after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued provisional measure ordering Israel to prevent genocide from taking place in Gaza.
Using Israeli Tax Authority import records, customs data and freedom of information requests, Al Jazeera’s investigation documented continued military transfers from countries across Europe, Asia, North America and South America, including many states that are signatories to the Genocide Convention.
By the time the ICJ issued its provisional ruling in January 2024, Israel’s military offensive in Gaza had already killed more than 26,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
According to the report, Israeli imports of military goods actually increased after the ruling, particularly ammunition and munitions shipments.
The five largest suppliers to Israel after the court’s decision were the United States, India, Romania, Taiwan and the Czech Republic.
Israeli Tax Authority data cited in the investigation showed that 2,603 consignments of military-related goods worth $885 million (£651m) were delivered to Israel between October 2023 and October 2025.
Of that total, $805m (£592m) worth arrived after the January 2024 ICJ ruling.
The shipments included ammunition, explosive munitions, weapons components and armoured vehicle parts.
Israel itself is the seventh largest arms supplier in the world.
Tel Aviv increased its share of global arms exports from 3.1 per cent during the period between 2016 and 2020 to 4.4 per cent between 2021 and 2025.
At least 72,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of Israel’s military campaign, while thousands more remain buried beneath the rubble.
Although the ICJ has not issued a final ruling in the case, the United Nations independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory concluded in a September 2025 report that Israel “committed a genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.”
The UN report further stated that “states are obliged to take steps to ensure the prevention of conduct that may amount to an act of genocide including the transfer of weapons that are used or likely to be used by Israel to commit genocidal acts.”

Washington and its Western allies decry human rights abuses while arming and shielding Israel, turning contradiction into policy, argues RAMZY BAROUD
