German arms exports to Israel are declining again. After the Hamas terrorist attack, export requests for Israel have been given priority.

Last year, the federal government gave the green light for arms exports worth 326.5 million euros to Israel. This included war weapons worth 20.1 million euros, including 3,000 portable anti-tank weapons and 500,000 rounds of ammunition for machine guns, Submachine guns or other fully or semi-automatic firearms. The EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell recently called on the USA and other allies of Israel to reduce their arms deliveries.
