Germany approves over $100m in arms exports to Israel

Germany has approved over $100m in military exports to Israel in the last three months, according to foreign ministry data released on Thursday.

The revelations coincide with the last legal challenge by rights groups against the government over the use of German weapons in Gaza.

Germany has approved €94,052,394 ($101.6m) in arms exports to Israel since August 2024, according to a government response to a parliamentary inquiry by left-wing lawmaker Sevim Dagdelen.

The new permits followed a significant drop in arms exports to Israel in the first half of the year.

The European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) said on Thursday it had filed an appeal at the Frankfurt Administrative Court on behalf of a Gaza resident, seeking to halt further arms exports.
