Germany starts weapons embargo on Israel
Israel-Germany, Politics, 4/9/2002
For the first time ever, Germany has imposed a weapons export embargo on Israel, the daily Financial Times Deutschland (FTD) reported Tuesday, IRNA said today in a report.
The report said "The Israeli defense ministry has confirmed that Germany's national security council had not approved any arms export permits for the last three months, FTD was quoted as saying. "
The IRNA report said "Germany has halted some 120 security-related exports, among them components for the Israeli Merkava 4 tank which is being used in the brutal Israeli repression of Palestinians in the autonomous territories. According to the latest arms export report of the German government, released last November, Israel ranked seventh in the list of arms exporting countries which receive German military hardware. German arms exports to Israel totalled 177 million euros in 2000 and included submarine and tank spare parts."
