Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems receives $10m from Australia
Even though the Albanian government met a Palestinian state at the weekend, it was giving more taxpayer money to a company that had sank into the blood of the Palestinians: Elbit systems.
Elbit, Drones that produce mass producing by Israeli defense forces to kill a large number of Palestinian civilians, and the drone used in 2024 to execute Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom and his colleagues. white phosphorus And temporarily banned Australia’s future fund For the production of cluster ammunition in 2021. International sanctions broke Sell Arms to Myanmar Junta After the 2021 coup.
However, none of this is important for the Australian Ministry of Defense. At the beginning of this week, Defense appeared Elbit’s British subsidiary was paying Elbit Systems UK $ 9.7 million for radios. Plants in the UK Against Palestinian Genocide. Defense began with Elbit Britain last week after a tender process that began in December 2024 – Elbit’s role in Frankcom’s conduct by IDF.
Thus, the defense made a clear decision to reward a company linked to an Australian killing.
For Elbit, this new financing, Elbit or for its subsidiaries, only the latest taxpayer is working paper: Defense in October 2024 700,000 dollars Elbit’s Australian subsidiary for drone support systems; It was delivered a month ago $ 38,000 Australia Elbit for security systems; When Frankcom was executed in April 2024, Elbit was given properly 160,000 dollars For explosives; receiving 609,000 dollars A contract of $ 14 million in February 2024, $ 3.7 million in January 2024 and $ 14 million in November 2023.
However, the largest final contract was about $ 900 million to supply towers to infantry vehicles built by South Korean company Hanwha, Elbit, a contract where the government was caught in 2024. The government claimed that Hanwha did not participate in the sub -agreement, Crirase He revealed that the government closely examined and approved the lower contract process.
The government has been delivered recently $ 467,000 For missiles to Rafael, another Israeli arms company targeted by protests. Australia and abroad.
The government’s enthusiasm for the continuous financing of companies involved in Israel’s genocide in Gaza in Gaza rooted its stance on the recognition of the Palestinian state. While recognition was criticized by the coalition and Trump administration, he did not accompany any concrete action to determine the Netanyahu government from him. Avot Purpose To destroy the possibility of the Palestinian state through the ethnic cleansing and colonization of the West Bank and the destruction of the Palestinians in Gaza.
Instead, the Albanian government only strengthened his discourse, although he refused to use the right terms such as “genocide” to describe Israel’s actions.
Indeed, by continuing to contribute to the profit of the Israeli arms manufacturing industry and refusing to sanction the Netanyahu government, the Labor Party seems to be gradually weak by the Labor Party’s defense against the accusation of being a criminal partner in the genocide. For the Palestinians, the concern can enter the theater, but his inertia and expenditures send a very different message.
