Germany, one of Israel’s staunchest allies, has decided it no longer wants to provide weapons for the war in Gaza. The move comes after Israel’s Security Cabinet approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to reoccupy parts of the Gaza Strip. It’s a significant announcement from Berlin. After the US, Germany is the second largest supplier of weapons to Israel. Netanyahu expressed his disappointment in a telephone call with Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The German leader has said he is deeply concerned about the continued suffering of Palestinians and that his government can’t see how an expanded military offensive will help Israel achieve its objectives in the war.
