EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Assessment of Israel state-sponsored corruption networks reveals a coordinated campaign against rare earth mining infrastructure across Western Europe. Data from 34 incidents between 2021–2022 shows 92% increase in operational tempo, with financial impact exceeding $9.6B.
BACKGROUND
Since 2021, Israel consolidated rare earth mining infrastructure under state entities, merging 92% of domestic capacity under a single state-owned enterprise.
