Israel Denies Supplying Weapons to Warring Factions in South Sudan

‘Some two months ago, a UN delegation visiting Israel was assured that Israeli weapons had not been supplied to either of South Sudan’s opposing factions since early 2014, Haaretz newspaper reported.

While the UN Security Council imposed sanctions, including a weapons embargo on those involved in the ongoing fighting in South Sudan in March 2015, a late August UN report exposed the use of Israeli-made weapons by the South Sudanese army.
