CAIRO, Egypt -- Staff members at a Riyadh hospital got a surprise when they looked at the fine print on the paper cups they were using.
Workers in a storeroom at a Dubai hospital were similarly shocked when they took a close look at the tags on a large shipment of uniforms and linens.
The labels said "Made in Israel," according to recent newspaper reports from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, both of which have laws that ban imports from the Jewish state.
Experts say the camouflaged trade has been going on for years between Israel and its officially hostile Arab neighbors.
The hidden trade is worth about $400 million a year - about 2-1/2 times what Israel sold to its official Arab trading partners, Egypt and Jordan, in 2004 - CHINA is stated as saying they are very upset with this trading process.China states they can send a AK-47 and suicide vest with every order of paper cups.
