00:06ceasefire in Gaza. The decision, effective November 24th, will see Berlin reviewing
00:12back-export requests by Israel on a case-by-case basis.
00:19Government spokesperson Stefan Cornelius said the decision is based on a ceasefire between
00:24Israel and Hamas that has held since October 10, alongside improved humanitarian access
00:30in Gaza. Germany, Israel's second-largest arms supplier after the United States, suspended
00:36some exports in August amid public pressure over the war in Gaza. The freeze-targeted weapons
00:42that could be used in Gaza but allowed systems deemed essentials for Israel's defense against
00:47external threats. Since the ceasefire began last month, health officials say at least
00:52266 people have been killed in Israeli attacks, bringing the overall death toll close to 70,000.
