Israel Ends All Tariffs on U.S. Goods Ahead of ‘Liberation Day’
Breitbart ^ | 04/01/2025 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 04/01/2025 12:22:52 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Israel announced Tuesday that it would end all tariffs, or customs duties, on U.S. imports — just one day before President Donald Trump was set to announce reciprocal tariffs in a Rose Garden ceremony dubbed “Liberation Day.”

A joint statement by the Prime Minister’s Office, Finance Ministry and Economy and Industry Ministry said:

At the directive of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Economy and Industry Minister Nir Barkat, Israel has cancelled all of the customs duties that have been levied until now on products from the US, Israel’s largest trading partner.

After the approval of the Knesset Finance Committee and the Economy and Industry Minister’s signature on the order, the amendment to the order regarding trade levies and protective measure will take effect and customs duties on all imports from the US will be cancelled.

No country that receives U.S. aid should have tariffs on U.S. goods.

Did Israel have tariffs on US ammo?

Israel has a deep state that taxes breathing.

Seriously, there is a tax on everything.

The one difference is Israel doesn’t single out the USA for disfavored treatment. It’s treated the same as everyone, inside and out.

Ironically, this will probably make USA goods cheaper than anyone’s goods in Israel.

Most countries with low civilian firearm ownership don't bother with tariffs on ammo. Ammo is often produced domestically, supported by laws that require government agencies to use only domestically produced ammunition.

The few civilians who want to purchase uncommon ammunition that's not produced domestically don't purchase enough to be worth the effort of hammering out tariffs.

Only Israeli tariffs on US products are on some agricultural/food products. Israelis are very highly taxed every which way, and Israel’s ag probably doesn’t need protection any more.

Joshua 5:
We are not alone.

[13]And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
[14] And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
[15] And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

I doubt it. Israel is capable of loading small arms ammo.

The Big Stuff? Another story.

Most affected likely to be grocery chain Osher Ad which has a lot of American food products such as from Costco.

Argentina will be next. They'll be upset they weren't first, but they will happily get over that.

And then, look out !

This is how a country should respond to the threat of Trump’s Tariffs!

I provided oil and gas related services and products related to offshore oil and gas production in Israel, mainly so I could get free trips to Israel.

Love the country. Love the people. Love the workers.

Thought I was going to kill some bureaucrats holding up stupid stuff.

“Yes it’s explosives.”

“Why are you importing explosives?!”

“To perforate a well. You poke holes in the pipe to let in gas.”

“This says they are torpedoes.”

“Yes, that’s what they are called.”

“Torpedoes are used to sink ships.”

“And to perforate casing, yes.”

“You said ‘pipe’, not ‘casing’”

“Casing is pipe.”

Etc.
