L’Allemagne ré-autorise les exportations d’armes vers Israël
Malgré un « cessez-le-feu » fragile en vigueur entre Israël et le Hamas, Tsahal continue de bombarder régulièrement la bande de Gaza et aurait provoqué la mort de plus de 300 civils depuis le 10 octobre. La semaine dernière, le porte-parole du gouvernement allemand, Stefan Kornelius, a annoncé que la situation dans l’enclave était suffisamment « stabilisée » pour autoriser au cas par cas la reprise des exportations d’armes à partir d’aujourd’hui, lundi 24 novembre.
