My take: Israeli exports are getting a closer review not because of an unofficial sanction directive but because officials are looking at it closer than before and noticing all the mistakes in filing. You don’t want to be the guy that stamped incorrect paperwork when Israel is conducting war at the moment. Russians probably had the same happen to them as well.
Unofficial sanctions look different qualitatively. Instead of pointing out all the mistakes in your paperwork and incorrect export licenses, it takes the form of getting in an endless cycle of referrals to committees and subcommittees, to other departments, internal reviews, assessments etc.
I’ve seen these types of mistakes many times even in big companies and there usually is internal/external politicking to shift blame. This is my first time seeing it blamed on an unofficial sanction though lol. I don’t think their bosses are going to buy it.
Yeah you're probably right. The more boring, mundane explanation is usually the correct one. Still, it's fun to read how ticked off they are about having to fill out paperwork correctly.
This is pretty much admitted further down:
