Amnesty Says Indian Firms Shipped 2,596 Arms Consignments to Israel
Amnesty said the consignments included 564,970 explosive ordnance parts and 390,516 small-arms components, despite legal warnings over possible genocide risk.
- On Thursday, Amnesty International released a report documenting at least 2,596 Indian arms shipments to Israel since October 7, 2023, alleging exports create a 'substantial risk' of international law violations.
- The investigation argues India became an 'increasingly important upstream supplier' to Israel's defence sector, integrating components into weapons systems including drones, artillery shells, and armoured vehicles.
- Researchers documented 564,970 explosive ordnance parts and 390,516 small arms components delivered to major suppliers including Elbit Systems and Rafael Advanced Defence Systems sustaining Israel's military production.
- Amnesty Secretary General Agnes Callamard warned India risks complicity in crimes against humanity by ignoring International Court of Justice provisional measures, stating Indian companies 'continued to profit' from supplying components.
- Rights groups including the BDS movement renewed calls for a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel, challenging trade Indian officials previously defended as aligned with national interest.
