BERLIN (AP) — Germany will not authorize any exports of military equipment that could be used in Gaza “until further notice,” Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced Friday, in a strikingly quick response by one of Israel’s strongest international backers to a decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Cabinet to take over Gaza City.
The move by Germany, which has previously stopped short of tougher lines against Israel’s government taken by some of its European Union allies, appeared likely to further isolate Israel in the wake of the controversial military takeover plan that has been decried by the United Nations and supporters of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza.
It wasn’t immediately clear which military equipment from Germany would be affected. Asked by The Associated Press for details about which military hardware would be affected, the German government declined to comment.

I stand corrected
Let’s not praise Germany too quickly. They haven’t defined “could be used in Gaza” and might simply be doing this for PR.
Or straight up lie and continue sending weapons to Israel like Canada and the UK
Possible. That would make me even stronger believer lol
At this point it’s undeniable Germany fully supports the extermination of Palestinians. They blocked European wide sanctions despite the EU report showing that Israel is committing war crimes and violating the trade convention rules.
The only thing that’s holding them back is diplomatic pressure and a balancing act of pretending the West cares about human rights and the rules based order.
