Germany approves $930M arms exports to Israel, 4x 2025 total

Germany has approved nearly $930 million in arms exports to Israel, more than four times the total approved in 2025, according to Der Spiegel. This marks a significant policy shift from the previous administration's more restrictive stance, signaling continued German support for Israel amid the Gaza conflict. The move may strain relations with other EU states and domestic opposition, but reflects a hardening of German defense export policy.
