Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Vivian Balakrishnan's Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Defence Sales to Israel, 2 July 2024

QUESTION

Mr Leong Mun Wai: To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether Singapore has made any defence sales, such as weapons or any other material that can cause harm to civilians, to Israel since 7 October 2023.

REPLY

Singapore complies strictly with our international obligations on international arms sales, as well as UN sanctions and embargoes against any country, including submitting regular reports to the UN Register of Conventional Arms. Apart from this, it is the established policy of the Government not to publicly divulge any details of defence sales for national security reasons.
