Germany's Commitment to Israel Amidst Criticism
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has reiterated Germany's commitment to supplying arms to Israel, affirming that the country has made decisions to ensure continued deliveries. Scholz's announcement came amidst criticism from CDU leader Friedrich Merz, who accused the government of delaying export licenses for ammunition and tank parts. Despite these allegations, Scholz assured that Germany, a key arms exporter to Israel after the United States, would maintain its support.
In the past year, Germany's arms exports to Israel have surged, reaching 326.5 million euros, significantly higher than previous years. This increase follows the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Lebanon, where Israel continues its military operations. Scholz's stance has faced opposition from various political figures, including French President Emmanuel Macron, highlighting the international debate surrounding Germany's arms exports.
While Scholz emphasizes Germany's unwavering support, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck have called for adherence to international law and caution in military actions. The situation remains contentious internationally, particularly concerning Israel's compliance with the law of war in its military endeavors.
