| | ABC News: Israel, Arab World Engage in Hidden Trade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | The true amount of Arab imports from Israel is impossible to establish because neither side makes it public, with Israeli-made goods moving to Arab customers through third countries Cyprus or the Netherlands, for example, which list the shipments as local exports. |
 | | An Arab lawyer who specializes in trade, Omar Obeidat of Al-Tamimi & Co. in Dubai, said the Arab League boycott of Israel is well enforced, despite the hidden trade through third countries. |
 | | Israeli exports to Arab countries, he said, are mostly from three categories: agricultural equipment, such as for irrigation a field in which Israel leads the world; animal vaccines and "technological knowledge and components." He refused to elaborate on the latter. |
