Germany to Resume Certain Weapons Sales to Israel After Ceasefire
- On Monday, the German government announced it was ending the partial suspension of weapons deliveries to Israel and said the embargo will be lifted on November 24.
- Citing a ceasefire that began on October 10, spokesperson Stefan Kornelius said the government welcomes the ceasefire in Gaza that has stabilized in recent weeks, while Chancellor Friedrich Merz imposed the August suspension after high civilian deaths.
- Diplomatic exchanges between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chancellor Friedrich Merz preceded Berlin's decision, following Johann Wadephul's recent visit, while officials said the August embargo did not affect essential non-Gaza weapons.
- The foreign-policy impact includes pledges to support Gaza reconstruction and a lasting peace based on a two-state solution, while Germany as Israel's second-largest weapons supplier alters its military equipment access.
- The government said it will resume case-by-case reviews and react to further developments, with German export-control ministries handling each export individually.
