In recent weeks, the German government has significantly ramped up arms exports to Israel, approving transactions worth 31 million euros—more than double previous amounts. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has pledged additional military support in light of escalating tensions, including Iran's rocket attacks and conflicts involving Hamas and Hezbollah.
Criticism from CDU and CSU representatives highlights concerns over perceived inadequacies in the government's support for Israel during a period when no war weapons were approved from March to August. Overall arms exports to Israel reached 45.74 million euros in 2022, yet the recent approvals reflect a shift in policy towards compliance with international humanitarian law amidst regional instability.
Scholz faces scrutiny from opposition leaders, who question the balance between public statements of support and actual military assistance. As debates continue, the future of Germany's military aid to Israel remains a contentious topic in the political landscape.
