Germany to supply Israel with new arms shipments

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz yesterday announced that Berlin will deliver new shipments of weapons to Israel.

This is in contrast to French President Emmanuel Macron who has called for a halt to any arms supplies to the occupation state if they are to be used in Gaza.

Speaking before the Bundestag during discussions marking the first anniversary of 7 October 2023, Scholz said: “We in the government have made decisions that will ensure the delivery of more weapons soon.”

“We have not decided to cease arms deliveries,” Scholz added, addressing claims from the opposition that the government paused weapons shipments to Tel Aviv for months, causing a “breach in German solidarity” with Israel.

The German chancellor further stated, “We have delivered weapons and will continue to deliver weapons,” without specifying their type, quantity, or intended purpose.
