In a major policy shift, Germany has suspended arms exports to Israel that could be used in Gaza, citing rising civilian casualties and humanitarian concerns. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense but said Berlin could not ignore the human toll of the conflict. The move marks a rare break from U.S. alignment and reflects mounting European discontent. As the war intensifies, Germany calls for humanitarian corridors and warns against West Bank annexation, signaling a shift in global patience with Netanyahu’s strategy.

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.”

Just days before Donald Trump’s planned high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, European allies have thrown a wrench into his peace plan. Leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, and the EU issued a joint statement insisting that any talks with Russia must involve Ukraine’s leadership. President Zelensky has rejected Trump’s suggestion of possible territorial swaps, calling any deal made without Ukraine “dead decisions.” With Putin still refusing direct talks with Kyiv, tensions rise as the White House faces backlash over reports of concessions on Crimea and Donbas.
