Myanmar seems like an odd gap. A quick search just seems to say Myanmar and Israel have a long diplomatic history and some minor arms sales?
Yeah Israel is one of half a dozen countries that continued to deal arms to Myanmar after the Rohingya Genocide.
Well Myanmar is run by a military dictatorship that murders, disappears and tortures civillians, and has an ongoing public resistance against it since a few years.
When Iran was ruled by the Shah Israel were best buddies and help arm and train his army and intelligence. Guess what they did: murder, disappear and torture tens of thousands of civillians.
When South Africa was still an Apartheid state, Israel was also good friends with them. Guess what they did...
