Germany is one of Israel's strongest allies - so pausing its military support is a shift in position
Friday, 8 August 2025 () Germany is traditionally one of Israel's strongest international backers, so the chancellor's message that it will not authorise any exports of military equipment that could be used in Gaza "until further notice" is a significant step.
In a major policy shift, Germany has suspended arms exports to Israel that could be used in Gaza, citing rising civilian casualties and humanitarian concerns. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense but said Berlin could not ignore the human toll of the conflict. The move marks a rare break from U.S. alignment and reflects mounting European discontent. As the war intensifies, Germany calls for humanitarian corridors and warns against West Bank annexation, signaling a shift in global patience with Netanyahu’s strategy.

In a scathing critique, former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon has condemned Israel’s Gaza war strategy under Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling it “unjust, immoral, and unwinnable.” Ayalon warns that Israel risks becoming a global pariah without a political roadmap for Gaza. He criticizes the Abraham Accords for sidelining Palestinians and urges a return to the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative. With ICC war crime warrants issued and Hamas vowing more attacks, pressure mounts on Netanyahu to rethink Israel’s military and political course.

A fiery confrontation reportedly erupted between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu during a call on July 28, with Trump shouting at the Israeli PM over Gaza starvation. Trump rejected Netanyahu’s claims that Hamas fabricated reports of hunger, stating bluntly: “You can’t fake that.” NBC reports Trump was shown evidence of starving children and rebuked Netanyahu’s denial. U.S. officials confirmed the aid crisis is real. While Israel’s PM calls the report “fake news,” pressure over the Gaza humanitarian disaster continues to escalate.
