Germany temporarily suspends new arms export approvals to Israel due to legal challenges.

Germany has temporarily suspended new arms export approvals to Israel due to legal challenges questioning potential violations of humanitarian law. In 2022, Germany authorized arms exports valued at €326.5 million, but this year, only €14.5 million has been approved as of August. The government insists there is no arms boycott against Israel, yet increasing legal scrutiny has led to friction within its political landscape. Other European nations are also reconsidering arms exports to Israel.
