Germany Approves Arms Exports to Israel: Data Released
In the first weeks of the war with Iran, the German government approved arms exports to Israel worth 6.6 million euros (7.8 million dollars), although the volume of deliveries remained relatively low, according to official data released today by the German agency DPA.
TL;DR
- Germany approved arms exports to Israel totaling €6.6 million between February 28 and March 27, 2025.
- This amount is significantly lower than the €166.95 million approved in the four months after restrictions were lifted on November 24, 2025.
- The approved exports in the specified period do not include heavy weaponry.
- Arms exports to Israel are a sensitive topic for the German government, particularly due to the conflict in Gaza.
- Previously, a partial embargo on military equipment that could be used in the Gaza conflict was in place but was later lifted.
- Germany is traditionally the second-largest supplier of arms to Israel after the United States.
