This FOI release contains correspondence between Defence and the Australian Border Force from November 2023 regarding an urgent request for data on exports to Israel. A Defence official requested the ABF's Special Investigations team to collate information on Israeli exports from 2018 onwards, with the ABF prioritising the request. The email chain shows inter-departmental coordination on export-related matters, with information disclosed under Part 6 of the Australian Border Force Act 2015. Substantially all substantive content is redacted under section 47E(d), preventing disclosure of the specific export details, data parameters, or findings. The release provides minimal insight into Defence export control procedures or the nature of items involved in Australia-Israel trade during this period.
