Over 24 million francs in dual-use or military-specific goods have been exported from Switzerland to Israel since October 7, 2023, with significant export activity starting in early 2024. The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs maintains that these exports comply with regulations, despite legal disputes and international calls for an arms embargo on Israel.

Exports include military components to defense firms like Elbit and laser-cutting machines to the Israeli Defense Ministry. Companies involved, including Trumpf Schweiz AG and Georg Fischer, assert they follow legal provisions while facing scrutiny regarding the end use of their products.
