According to a report published in The European in 1993, citing western intelligence agencies, the Jews of Sarajevo had been allowed to leave the besieged town in a number of airlifts and convoys in 1992 as a part of a deal involving Israeli arms supplies to the Serbs.5. On 2 December 1994, Joel Weinberg, an Israeli activist of an inter-faith humanitarian organization who had just returned from Sarajevo, was interviewed on the Channel Two television programme Next Question? He recounted how a UN officer had asked him to look at fragments of the case of a mortar shell that had exploded on the Sarajevo airport runway; the officer could not make out the strange letters. It turned out they were Hebrew. Mr Weinberg, who had served in the Israeli Defense Forces, easily identified the case as belonging to an IDF-ordnance 120mm mortar shell. He also testified to having seen Israeli-made Uzi automatic rifles in the hands of the Serbs.

On 2 August 1995, Israeli state television reported in its evening news programme that `private Israeli arms merchants' had made a deal to supply American-made missiles to the Serbs. (In Israel, as in other countries, private arms deals must have government approval. Israel has a history of military collaboration with the apartheid regime of Sough Africa and military dictatorships in Central and South America. That has sometimes involved private, or `private', arms merchants.) There have been attempts to bring the matter of Israeli arms supplies to the Serbs into the open and to initiate a public debate.6 But the Israeli public showed no interest in the subject.
