Der Spiegel reported on Germany's support for Israel despite the abolition of arms exports

Torsten Frye, the head of the CDU/CSU faction in the Bundestag, said on August 9 that Germany would support Israel's security, despite the cancellation of arms exports by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

"There should be no doubt that the main directions of Germany's policy towards Israel remain unchanged. Germany continues to support Israel in everything necessary to protect its existence and security," Der Spiegel quoted him as saying.

It is noted that the suspension of some exports relates to weapons that can be used in the Gaza Strip. Fry confirmed that this is the country's logical reaction to Israel's decision to occupy the Gaza Strip.

Total control: Israel has decided to occupy Gaza

Netanyahu's cabinet approved the plan after ten hours of consultations.

Earlier, on August 8, it was reported that the German government was suspending the issuance of permits for the export of weapons to Israel that could be used in the Gaza Strip. As German Chancellor Friedrich Merz noted, Israel has the right to defend itself against the actions of the Palestinian Hamas movement, but the main priorities are the release of hostages and targeted negotiations on a cease-fire.

Later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed dissatisfaction with the decision of the German government to suspend arms supplies to Tel Aviv. According to the Israeli Prime Minister, by imposing an embargo and not supporting Israel's actions against Hamas, Germany allegedly "encourages terrorism."
