Germany's legal team informed the court that 98 percent of its arms exports to Israel since October 7 comprised general equipment such as vests, helmets, and binoculars, refuting claims of aiding genocide in Gaza.
Nicaragua's case at the ICJ against Germany, for allegedly aiding genocide by selling arms to Israel, was criticized by Tania von Uslar-Gleichen of the German Foreign Ministry for being rushed and lacking substantial evidence.
Germany reassured its commitment to abide by international law in scrutinizing arms exports, emphasizing its role as the largest humanitarian aid donor to Palestinians while prioritizing Israel's security due to historical reasons.
Since the October 7 attacks, Germany has been a major military supplier to Israel, reflecting its support for Israeli security, despite facing protests and legal actions from groups criticizing Israel's civilian casualty toll in Gaza.
