The EU has allocated over $15 million to Israeli defense firms, including Israel Aerospace Industries, despite existing bans on military research funding. This financial support, part of the Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe programs, raises concerns about its implications for Israel's military industry amid ongoing conflicts, with some MEPs questioning the legality of such funding. The EU maintains that its funding complies with regulations, even as it signals a shift towards normalizing dual-use research.
