The DPA news agency released a report on Wednesday citing sources in the federal government that Germany will allocate priority to sending arms to "Israel" through commercial applications for arms sales from companies.
This comes after Germany gave the green light to "Israel's" request to utilize two of five Heron TP combat drones against Palestine leased by Germany.
It was reported that "Israel" also asked Germany for warship ammunition, bulletproof vests, and banked blood.
This comes after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz held talks in "Israel" with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and allegedly called for an investigation into the massacre.
"I am horrified by the images of the explosion in a hospital in Gaza. Innocent civilians were injured and killed," he posted on X, adding that "a thorough investigation of the incident is imperative" and expressed that his "thoughts are with the families of the victims."
Ich bin entsetzt über die Bilder, die uns von der Explosion in einem Krankenhaus in Gaza erreichen. Unschuldige wurden verletzt und getötet. Unsere Gedanken sind bei den Angehörigen der Opfer.

Es ist wichtig, dass dieser Vorfall sehr genau aufgeklärt wird.

Addressing EU lawmakers before the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that "there is no excuse for hitting a hospital full of civilians" in Gaza, and that "facts need to be established" on the massacre.
Last night, the EU chief described the explosion as having turned into "a hell of fire," adding that "all those responsible must be held accountable," but did not refer to any side or make any specific accusations. Meanwhile, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has announced that "Israel" has been violating international law.
The EU’s top diplomat said that Israeli actions in Gaza may have breached international law, as he underlined the need for the EU to continue funding Palestine.
“The right for self-defense has to be done within international law,” the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell, said Tuesday following a specially convened virtual meeting of EU foreign ministers.
