Revealed: EU Nations Condemning Gaza Genocide Secretly Inking Billion-Dollar Arms Deals with Israel // Mint Press
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius believe Russia could launch a full-scale attack on Europe by 2030, a fear that has prompted governments across the continent to prepare for war. As European citizens stockpile food and governments ramp up military readiness, one country sees opportunity in that fear: Israel.
The European Union is planning to increase its military budget by 800 billion ($900 billion) over the next four years. With the United States pulling back military support for NATO, EU member states are seeking new defense partners, and Israel is stepping in, offering weapons tested on occupied and besieged populations.
As governments across Europe prepare for a potential Russian assault, they are deepening defense ties with Israel, buying billions in battle-tested weapons even as Israel faces genocide accusations in the International Court of Justice. The result: a sharp disconnect between public condemnation and private militarization.
