Shafaq News – Berlin
Germany will resume arms exports to Israel on November
24, ending a suspension imposed in August 2025 during the Gaza war, government
spokesperson Stefan Kornelius confirmed Monday.
Kornelius told the German Press Agency (dpa) that the
decision follows a period of relative calm after the October 10 ceasefire
between Israel and Hamas, which ended a two-year war that killed over 69,000
Palestinians, and aligns with Berlin’s support for renewed diplomacy and
increased humanitarian aid in Gaza.
He noted that all future arms transfers will be
evaluated individually, with German authorities closely tracking conditions on
the ground.
Germany, Israel’s second-largest weapons supplier
after the United States, halted select shipments three months ago under growing
public pressure—particularly regarding systems potentially used in Gaza—while
continuing to deliver equipment deemed essential to Israel’s external defense.
Kornelius stressed that Berlin remains committed to
long-term regional stability and will continue funding both emergency relief
and reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
