Arms exports
Union argued due to the change of course in Israel policy
In the Union there is open criticism of the black and red federal government and the armaments embargo against Israel. It comes mainly from the second row.
Completely different assessments from the Union for the decision of the Black-Red Federal Government, Israel no longer deliver armaments for the Gaza War.
The chairman of the Defense Committee in the Bundestag, Thomas Röwekamp, described this as the decision of the three coalition parties CDU, CSU and SPD. “This decision is a decision that the German federal government has made together and which is also carried together,” said the CDU politician in the ARD “daily topics”. The CSU had previously said that she had not been involved in the decision and was surprised by it.
“Sharp”
The CDU member of the Bundestag Carsten Müller wrote on X that he condemned the decision of the Federal Government. She also overlooks “how important security policy cooperation with Israel is for Germany to strengthen the Bundeswehr and NATO”.

Personally, competent and entertaining: Editor -in -chief Gregor Peter Schmitz sends you the most important content from the star-Credaction and arranges what Germany talks about.
The Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Research, Matthias Hauer (CDU), also wrote on X: “I think it is a serious mistake and a devastating signal that Germany limits its arms deliveries to Israel.” According to “Bild”, a session of the Union Group’s foreign policy was set for Sunday.
The former Berlin cultural senator Joe Chialo (CDU) wrote in a guest post for “Bild”, of all people Germany now deprived Israel of armaments – “knowing that we would be floating for the protection of the Iron Dome in the smallest hail of rocket. This is morally and politically presumptuous”. The Iron Dome is an Israeli rocket defense system from which Germany has also ordered components.
Chialo called the embargo a “betrayal of our own basic values”. His party friend Röwekamp, in turn, said that this was “not a break with previous tradition and no restriction of our unrestricted solidarity with Israel”.
Israeli historian welcomes decision
The Israeli historian Moshe Zimmermann welcomed the arms export stop. “The Federal Chancellor’s decision has long been overdue,” he told Germany’s editorial network. It would hardly have any effect, since the Israeli military depends primarily on the production and production of the Americans. “Nevertheless, you have to set a sign here. The German government signals something. And that is a value itself,” said the emeritus professor of recent history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Israel wants to expand military use in the Gaza Strip
Israel announced on Friday to expand his military operation in the Gaza Strip: After hours of consultations, the Israeli security cabinet decided to take the city of Gaza. This met with violent rejection in their own country, including relatives of the hostages in the violence of the terrorist organization of Hamas.
The Federal Government reacted with measures against the partner and thus completed a change of course. Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) announced that for the time being, no exports of armaments were approved that could be used in this war.
