German chancellor vows to continue supplying weapons to Israel
GENEVA (AA) – Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that Germany will continue to supply arms to Israel, which continues air and ground attacks in Gaza and Lebanon.
During the German Bundestag debate on the events of October 7, 2023, Scholz said: “We have supplied weapons and we will supply weapons. … We have made decisions in the government that will also ensure that there will be further deliveries in the near future. And then you will see that this was a false reproach.”
The coalition government led by the Social Democrats, Greens and Free German Party had been criticized by the main opposition Christian Democrats for not doing enough for Israel.
Prior to the debate, BSW party leader Sahra Wagenknecht had spoken out on X about arms deliveries to Israel.
“If the German government wants to credibly emphasize its demand for a cease-fire and a two-state solution, it must no longer support Israel’s ruthless warfare by approving arms deliveries and must finally push for an end to the spiral of violence,” said Wagenknecht.
Germany has been one of the staunchest supporters of Israel throughout the war on Gaza, supplying it with arms and weapons as well as finances and diplomatic support, alongside the US.
