JERUSALEM, June 13 (Reuters) - Israel exported a record $12.556 billion in defence products last year, with new Arab partners under the U.S.-sponsored 2020 Abraham Accords accounting for almost a quarter of the business, the Defence Ministry said on Tuesday.
Drones accounted for 25% of the 2022 exports and missiles, rockets or air defence systems for 19%, it said.
Without naming specific clients, the ministry said 24% of defence exports were to Abraham Accords countries.
United Arab Emirates and Bahrain were signatories to those accords, and Israel often counts Morocco and Sudan as part of them as well.
Asia and the Pacific accounted for 30% of Israeli defence exports, Europe for 29% and North America for 11%, it said.
