German Political Leaders Oppose Weapon Sales to ’Israel’

Local Editor

Several German political leaders have criticized the continual supply of weapons to "Israel" as the fourth advanced Dolphin class submarine is making its way to the Zionist regime from Germany.

According to a report in Die Welt, Germany's Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel has recommended a cutback in arms exports to "Israel."

In 2012, Gabriel branded the Zionist regime ‘apartheid' after visiting Hebron.

Additionally, Vice President of Germany's Social Democratic Party, Ralf Stegner, in an interview in Welt am Sonntag expressed similar criticism.

He said, "We want a clear policy change. Germany cannot provide weapons to areas of tension and certainly not to dictators," questioning German support for Qatar, Saudi Arabia, as well as for "Israel."

During the Second Intifada [uprising], then-Chancellor Gerhard Schroder led a campaign to temporarily suspend certain military exports to "Israel."

More recently, the German left have called for Germany to put an end to their "special relationship with "Israel"" altogether, and completely stop the supplying of any German weapons to it.
