Germany is sending a €500 million submarine to Israel, just days after partially halting arms exports to the country, sparking widespread criticism. The contract, originally signed in 2012, received final approval from Germany’s Federal Security Council in 2023. Thyssenkrupp, the manufacturing company, confirmed the export at a recent extraordinary general meeting. A government spokesperson in Berlin declined to comment when asked. The move has raised concerns about Germany’s arms export policy and international reactions.
