Israel's Netanyahu says German arms export halt 'rewarding Hamas'

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed on Friday a German decision to halt arms exports over the Gaza war, saying the move would bolster Palestinian group Hamas.

"Instead of supporting Israel's just war against Hamas, which carried out the most horrific attack against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Germany is rewarding Hamas terrorism by embargoing arms to Israel," said a statement from Netanyahu's office, which added that the Israeli premier expressed his "disappointment" in a call with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
