The Chancellor of Germany denies the claims: “The accusations of a ‘silent arms embargo’ against Israel are not true”

German Chancellor Olaf Schulz today (Thursday) addressed the claims that Germany imposed a “silent arms embargo” on Israel and strongly denied them. He expressed himself in a relatively unusual way during a discussion in the Bundestag that dealt with the anniversary of the October 7 attack, saying: “We provided weapons and we will provide weapons to Israel. This is the attitude of the federal government.”

In response to the claims of the chairman of the opposition and head of the Christian Democratic Party, Friedrich Mertz, regarding the imposition of a ban on the export of German weapons to Israel precisely at a time when it is so needed, Chancellor Schultz said that “I will not break the confidentiality rules of the Federal Security Council, but we have made decisions in the government Let them guarantee additional arms shipments soon, and then you will argue that these were false accusations.”

In her speech in the Bundestag, the German Foreign Minister, Analana Barbuk, emphasized that arms shipments to Israel must be in accordance with international law. She also criticized that the question of support for Israel is not party politics. For the democratic parties, support for Israel must be “a reason for the state, regardless of who rules the state.”
