Dr. Tun Min Latt and Israel

The complexities of international geopolitics have become even more apparent now. In particular, there is fascinating evidence suggesting that during the Trump administration—which was very closely aligned with the Israeli government—exits were sought for subsidiaries and crony businessmen associated with Dr. Tun Min Latt.

In July 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department removed several of the military council’s arms brokers—Aung Hlaing Oo (MCM Group), Sit Taing Aung (Suntac Technologies), and Jonathan Myo Kyaw Thaung (KT Group)—from the sanctions list. This move demonstrates: "Just how effective the Myanmar government's lobbying efforts have become."

When examining the connection between Dr. Tun Min Latt and Israel, it is clear that he is not only a representative for major Israeli military companies but also a strategic confidant implementing Israeli interests within Myanmar. By leveraging the exceptionally close relationship between Israel and the U.S. during the Trump administration, certain businessmen within Dr. Tun Min Latt’s network sought pathways to reduce the pressures facing them.

Removing those who supply raw materials for weapons factories from the sanctions list serves as proof of the strength of the Israel-Myanmar-US lobbying network built by Dr. Tun Min Latt and his associates.

Therefore, the story of "Dr. Tun Min Latt and Israel" is not just about procuring weapons for the coup-leading military; it is a deep-seated narrative of navigating international sanctions by manipulating Israeli influence and shifts in U.S. political policy. Seeing the removal of Shwe Byain Phyu owner Daw Tin Latt Min and other cronies from these lists makes it undeniable: individuals like Dr. Tun Min Latt, in collaboration with Israeli intelligence, have skillfully found their "way out" on the global political stage.
