Germany suspending arms exports to Israel for use in Gaza: Merz

Germany will halt the export of military equipment to Israel which could be used in the Gaza Strip, Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Friday, reacting to Israel's plan to take control of Gaza City.

Merz said it was "increasingly difficult to understand" how the Israeli military plan would help achieve legitimate aims and added: "Under these circumstances, the German government will not authorize any exports of military equipment that could be used in the Gaza Strip until further notice."
