Haaretz: European Boycott Affects Israeli Military Supplies
Haaretz newspaper highlighted the impact of both secret and public European boycotts on the Israeli military, particularly in the fields of submarine and warship development. European countries such as Norway, Denmark, and France refused to supply German shipyards with necessary defense components. This led to several months' delay in the delivery of a new submarine called "A.H. Dragon," and some European nations prohibited the submarine from docking during its journey to Israel, forcing the crew to take alternative routes. Additionally, other European countries have begun preventing Israeli military and civilian vessels from entering their ports, fearing the imposition of a naval blockade on Israel—a move that could raise insurance costs and threaten the Israeli economy. This development reflects Israel's shift to view the sea as a strategic depth rather than just borders, emphasizing the protection of trade and prevention of smuggling—especially amid rising military and security tensions over a potential blockade and the impact of boycotts on its naval military capabilities.
