The German Economy Ministry reported that while arms export approvals to Israel increased immediately following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, they then experienced a significant drop as of the new year.
Despite the sharp decrease in arms exports, the German Economy Ministry insists that this decline does not reflect a change in governmental policy regarding arms exports to Israel.
The ministry stated, 'There is no ban on the export of arms to Israel, nor will there be,' emphasizing a nuanced approach to evaluating individual arms export applications.
According to the ministry, arms export applications are assessed individually, considering international humanitarian law, and factoring in the ongoing conflict and circumstances surrounding it.
