Germany to send more weapons to Israel soon

Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that Germany will send more weapons to Israel soon, following a drop in deliveries this year which prompted opposition accusations that Berlin has delayed exports.

"We have not decided not to supply weapons. We have supplied weapons and we will supply weapons," Scholz told parliament at an event to commemorate the victims of the 7 October Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.

He added that "there will be further deliveries soon".
