Germany approved military exports worth 6.6 million euros or about 7.7 million US dollars (about Rp131.9 billion) to Israel in the early weeks of the US-Israeli conflict against Iran, German media reported.
The exports were approved for the period from February 28 to March 27, 2026, according to the DPA news agency, citing a written response to a member of parliament from the Die Linke party, Ulrich Thoden.
In the period of about four months after the restrictions on arms exports related to Gaza were lifted in November 2025, Germany reportedly approved military exports to Israel totaling 166.95 million euros (about Rp3.3 trillion).
The exports do not include lethal weapons such as tanks or artillery, but rather "other military equipment."
Germany generally avoids sending weapons to conflict zones, except for Ukraine and Israel, which are linked to the country's historical responsibilities, according to a DPA report.
On February 28, the US and Israel launched an attack on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, which caused damage and civilian casualties. Iran then retaliated by attacking Israeli territory as well as US military facilities in the Middle East as a form of self-defense.
On Saturday (11/4), Iran and the US held talks in Islamabad after US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire. On Sunday (12/4), US Vice President J.D. Vance stated that negotiations between the two countries failed to produce an agreement.
