The writer "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" notes that the German Chancellor's decision to suspend the arms supply that could be utilized in the Gaza War "did not prompt the Israeli Prime Minister to revoke the order to launch the announced offensive. Partial cessation of supplies will not importantly reduce the fighting force of the Israeli army. However, the Chancellor's decision exploded during German summertime holidays like a proverbial bomb. It was received and presented as a taboo break—a break with the German state's ration that Germany must take care of Israel's security."
Chancellor of Germany and relations with Israel
Meanwhile, the Chancellor stated that the principles of German policy towards Israel had not changed. There is only disagreement about Israel's further conduct in Gaza. But it could not be greater, even if everyone is completely in agreement with who is liable for this war: Hamas, who wants to destruct the State of Israel and its people. However, the savage attack almost 2 years ago Hamas sealed his fate".
Commentator on the diary "Süddeutsche Zeitung" believes Friedrich Merz made the right decision. "The refusal to supply the government with weapons that could be utilized to wage war in the Gaza Strip is not a deficiency of solidarity with Israel. As long as Israel truly defended itself against Hamas' terrorist attack of 7 October 2023, the aid was justified. However, the Israeli army now commits war crimes in the Gaza Strip, shoots people in line for food, allows children and the sick and wounded to die of starvation due to the fact that medical care cannot be provided. Is Germany to support this by providing weapons?" he asks.
"For many weeks not only the opposition in the Bundestag, but besides Merz and his government have called for the cessation of passively watching Benjamin Netanyahu's brutal policy and taking action. Chancellor just did. In practice, his decision will not be of much importance – as far as we know, no circumstantial arms supply is planned. However, it is symbolically a long-awaited, appropriate signal for Netanjah that he has already gone besides far in the war against the Palestinians," we read.
"A bold and right decision"
Also the commentator of the diary "Frankfurter Rundschau" praises the Chancellor's decision.
"Friedrich Merz made a bold and right decision to restrict arms exports to Israel. The German state's rations request not blindly lead to the complete bloody business of the city of Gaza, resulting in many civilians being killed in addition to Hamas militants – and possibly besides the last surviving Israeli hostages. Merza's decision will not endanger Israel's safety just due to the fact that Berlin will not supply for a time a weapon that could be utilized in Gaza."
Another commentator for Die Welt is:
"Islamofasis prevails in Palestinian territories much longer than Nazism in Germany. All generations of Palestinians after 1948 – or alternatively since 1920 – were raised in the belief that their sacred task was to destruct the judaic state: it is the ideological and spiritual soul of the Palestinian people. UNRWA's "help organization" plays a Satanic function in this. This organization maintains the illusion of 'right to return' Palestinians and supply them with medical assistance, education and food, as if Palestinians were always in request of aid to children.
Friedrich Merz knows all about it. His intelligence services know the patterns of force in the Gaza Strip and the actual number of civilian casualties and terrorists killed. However, in fresh weeks, Merz has been incapable to withstand massive media pressure. He was forced to make a move. (...).
Also in Germany, the majority of the population, after a year of media harassment against the judaic state, believes that designation of the Palestinian state is essential for peace. It's an illusion. This is even an illusion that threatens Israel’s existence. First, the Palestinians must be 'depressed' – Western political elites know that very well", writes "Die Welt".
