Germany halts weapons exports to Israel for use in Gaza conflict as Netanyahu’s occupation plan faces global criticism.

Netanyahu’s plans for Israel to take control of Gaza City drew intense pushback Friday, with at least one European ally announcing it would halt military exports.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany won’t authorize any exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza “until further notice,” Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Friday, in a strikingly quick response by one of Israel’s strongest international backers to a decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Cabinet to take over Gaza City.
