Washington Post: U.S. and “Israeli” Arms Companies Turn Gaza into a Field Laboratory, Earning Billions from the Genocide War
Weapon investments in “Israel” jump to $15.6 billion in 2025 amid accusations of turning the war into an open market for killing and experimentation
NYN | Reports and Analyses
The Washington Post reported that U.S. and “Israeli” arms companies have treated the war on the Gaza Strip as a field-testing ground for new weapons and advanced technologies, turning the two-year-long genocidal campaign against civilians into an opportunity to expand markets and generate billions of dollars in profits.
The report emphasized that this industry was not limited to traditional arms manufacturers, but also included technology, defense, and artificial intelligence companies, which took advantage of the war conditions to market their products and enhance their capabilities through direct field experimentation.
Western Partnership and European Silence
The newspaper noted that several Western countries, particularly European nations, showed little concern for the crimes committed in Gaza, continuing to supply Israel with weapons and contribute to marketing the products of companies linked to the machinery of killing, amid growing accusations of broad international complicity.
Startups Born from War
The report highlighted examples of “Israeli” startups that emerged during the war, including the company Kela, which it said was founded specifically during the Gaza aggression by reserve officers in the Israeli army, and later developed combat tools and technologies directly used in military operations.
It explained that these weapons and technologies were employed in thousands of attacks targeting civilians, representing a clear model of transforming war into an investment project.
Direct Links with American Companies
The report stated that “Israeli” companies maintained close ties with American firms, including the company Neros, emphasizing that these partnerships are not exceptions but part of a wider network of dozens of companies directly or indirectly involved in the Gaza war.
Shocking Figures: $15.6 Billion in a Single Year
According to data from Start-Up Nation Central, investments in the emerging “Israeli” arms sector reached $15.6 billion in 2025, compared to $12 billion in 2024, reflecting – according to the report – a significant expansion of the military market tied to the war.
