Was not aware of that. Do you have any idea if this deal is still going through? Or if we have told Israel to stop?

I don't know. The United States and the EU have slapped an arms embargo on Zimbabwe. Last February, the European Union put a a visa ban on 20 top Zimbabwean official, including President Robert Mugabe, and froze their assets. There has been a lot of criticism of Israel in Europe for their sale of arms to Mugabe. Difficult to discover (for me at least) exactly what is the state of the situation now. Some Keywords to search on: Beit Alfa Trailer Co., Mugabe, Israel,sanctions, European Union,Stan Mudenge.

Mugabe has been a backer of Kabila in Angola. Interestingly enough, Arkadi Gaydamak, a large shareholder in "Africa Israel" provided the GPS equipment used to track down and assassinate Savimbi in Angola. In addition to that mess, Leonid Minin and Col. Yair Klein were running arms to Taylor in Liberia. Klein is in a prison in Sierra Leone and Minin in Italy awaiting trial for their activities last I heard.

Has Israel ever done what we asked them to do except cash the checks?
