The German government has confirmed that it continues to export weapons to Israel, despite the recent issuance of international arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Galant.
The Telegram channel “Alexey Zheleznov” writes about this.
German government officials said their position on the issue remains unchanged, emphasizing the importance of defense cooperation with Israel.
Let us remember that the German authorities previously commented on the situation with the issuance of arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court against the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Yoav Galant.
German government officials said Berlin plans to carefully review the International Criminal Court’s decision but has no intention of taking any action until a visit by Israeli leaders to Germany is officially scheduled.
The government noted that Germany remains an important ally of the International Criminal Court, but emphasized that historical circumstances force the country to assume a special responsibility towards Israel, which determines the unique aspects of their bilateral relationship.
Previously, Kursor wrote that France commented on the ICC’s issuance of warrants against Netanyahu and Galant.

At the same time, the French Foreign Ministry did not specify whether a decision would be made to arrest Israeli politicians if they arrived in the country, leaving this issue without comment.
