GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 8 – Germany halted military exports to Israel over concerns the equipment could be used in Gaza amid Israel's plan to control Gaza City, marking a key ally's strong response to the conflict.
- Germany's government has halted exports of military equipment destined for Gaza, suspending any arms sales to Israel until further notice.

- Reacting swiftly, Sir Ed Davey condemned the proposal as ‘utterly abhorrent’ and warned it will only bring more bloodshed.

- For peace, negotiators say both sides must agree to a ceasefire, Hamas must disarm, release all Israeli hostages, and accept it will have no role in Gaza’s future governance.
