Scholz: Germany yet to decide on halting weapons sales to Israel

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Berlin has not made a decision regarding its weapons sales to Israel, following last week's report by the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Scholz was asked by reporters if Germany's support for Israel would change in light of the advisory opinion issued by the UN's top court, which declared Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories illegal.

In response, Scholz said his government had not yet reached a decision, adding that it would decide "on a case-by-case basis".
