"After such an unthinkable incident, it is necessary in principle to reconsider relations with Saudi Arabia," the Zeit politician quoted as saying.

According to Nales, this applies, for example, to the export of German weapons.

“There must be tangible consequences,” she added.

Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that arms exports to Saudi Arabia are not possible at the present time in the light of the murder of journalist Hashukji.

Also in Germany they stated that they consider insufficient the information provided by Saudi Arabia in the case of the death of a journalist who, according to Riyadh, died as a result of a conflict in the country's consulate in Istanbul.
