Germany defends arms export to Israel. Respects international law rules, defense lawyer argues

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 22:48

Germany defended on Monday that the export of arms to Israel respects international law, during a hearing before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). This position came in response to a complaint filed by Nicaragua against Berlin.

The defense lawyer presented Germany's arguments, stating that the country complies with the rules established by international law regarding arms exports.

The case was taken to the ICJ by Nicaragua, which questioned the legality of Germany's arms supply to Israel in a broader context of tensions in the region.

The hearing represents an important moment in the international dispute, with both parties presenting their arguments before the court based in The Hague.
