Data revealed by the German Foreign Ministry on Thursday indicates that Germany has approved over $100 million in military exports to "Israel" over the past three months, marking a significant increase following a drop in arms exports earlier this year.

The arms exports, valued at approximately €94 million ($101.61 million), have drawn scrutiny after the information was released in response to a parliamentary inquiry by Left Party MP Sevim Dagdelen.

Was für ein Zynismus, was für eine Heuchelei! Während die #Bundesregierung der Bevölkerung in Deutschland und im Nahen Osten Sand in die Augen streut mit stetem Verweis auf humanitäre Hilfe, werden die völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffe auf die UN-Friedenstruppen und die… pic.twitter.com/J20HLjqoWn

This news comes as the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) announced it has filed an appeal with the Frankfurt Administrative Court on behalf of a Gaza resident.

The appeal aims to halt further German arms exports to "Israel", arguing that they contribute to civilian harm in Gaza.

The plaintiff, a Palestinian resident of Gaza, lost his wife and daughter in Israeli airstrikes and argues that Germany’s continued weapons shipments could further endanger civilians in the region.

"The case challenges Germany’s responsibility in ensuring that its military exports are not used in ways that cause civilian harm," stated the ECCHR in a press release.

The focus of the case is on Germany’s approval of specific military components, including those used in "Israel’s" Merkava tanks, which are produced by German defense company Rheinmetall AG.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Rheinmetall AG have yet to comment on the appeal, leaving questions about the potential use of German-made components in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Germany has consistently been a significant arms supplier to "Israel", ranking as the second-largest exporter after the US.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Germany accounted for 30% of "Israel's" major arms imports between 2019 and 2023.

In 2023, Germany approved arms exports to "Israel" valued at approximately €326.5 million ($353 million), marking a substantial increase compared to previous years.
