Germany will lift an order suspending some weapons sales to Israel beginning next week, following the Gaza ceasefire agreement reached last month, a German government spokesperson announced Monday, adding that the decision was contingent on the maintenance of the truce.

“The government will, as a general rule, revert to case-by-case reviews in decisions on arms exports and respond to further developments,” the spokesperson, Sebastian Hille, said in the announcement.

The ceasefire “is the basis for this decision, and we expect everyone to abide by the agreements that have been made,” he said, adding that it “includes maintaining the ceasefire.”

“It also means that humanitarian aid is provided on a large scale and that the process continues in an orderly manner, as agreed,” Hille said.

The spokesperson added that Germany remains committed to supporting a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians based on a two-state solution and will continue to engage in supporting reconstruction in Gaza.

According to the spokesperson, the decision will take effect on November 24.

I welcome Chancellor Merz’s move to revoke the decision regarding the partial "embargo".
I call on other governments to adopt........
