Chapter Chapter Three in Israel and Latin America: The Military Connection, 1986, pp 59-109 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract During the last decade Latin America was undisputedly Israel’s largest market for arms, accounting for approximately 50 to 60 percent of its total military exports.1 According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), one-third of Israel’s total arms sales of $1.2 billion in 1980 went to Argentina and El Salvador alone.2 Recently, Israeli arms to Asia and Africa have increased, partly as a by-product of Israel’s success in regaining some of its old friends, particularly in Africa. Nevertheless, Latin America continues to be a primary market,* accounting for one-third to one-half of Israel’s total arms sales.3 It is no coincidence that Israeli military sales literature continues to come out in two languages, English and Spanish.4
