German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had categorically denied that his ruling coalition had stopped approving arms exports to Israel, telling parliament in October, “We have delivered weapons, and we will deliver weapons.”
Berlin has faced legal questions over its continued delivery of arms to Israel. In April, Nicaragua brought a case to the International Court of Justice accusing Germany of breaching the United Nations genocide convention by sending arms to Israel.
In June, a group of five Palestinians brought a lawsuit to a court in Berlin intending to force Germany to stop arms exports to Israel, supported by the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights. Their case was rejected by the Berlin administrative court.
Members of Scholz’ “traffic light” coalition have addressed the controversy, arguing that weapons deliveries are in line with international law.
“Every individual case must be examined. This is what the European Union guidelines stipulate and they are being adhered to,” Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said.
Germany approved over $100Mln in arms exports to ‘Israel’ since August.
Data revealed by the German Foreign Ministry on Thursday indicates that Germany has approved over $100 million in military exports to “Israel” over the past three months, marking a significant increase following a drop in arms exports earlier this year.
The arms exports, valued at approximately €94 million ($101.61 million), have drawn scrutiny after the information was released in response to a parliamentary inquiry by Left Party MP Sevim Dagdelen.
In 2023, Germany was responsible for 47% of Israel’s total imports of conventional arms — second only to the US — according to data published by investigative outlet Forensic Architecture from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
