PressTV: According to a petition filed by the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy [IRmep] to the US Trade Representative, Israel has violated important provisions of the US-Israel Free Trade Agreement for years. The bilateral trade agreement signed in 1985 gave Israel privileged market access to the United States. The [IRmep] petition cites a number of trade violations focused on intellectual property theft over a period of twenty years.
Grant Smith: The ability of Israel to benefit from access to the US market without tariffs has been immense. It’s created a gem diamond industry for them, it’s created a massive military industrial export capacity for them, it’s creating a massive pharmaceutical business.
