Germany has been Israel 's second biggest supplier of arms for at least two decades .
Germany approved 326.5 million worth of arms exports to Israel in 2023 alone.
In 2023 , Germany was responsible for 47% of Israel 's total imports of conventional arms, following the US at 53% .
Germany has had to defend its military support for Israel in both domestic and international courts.
Five Palestinians living in Gaza brought a lawsuit to a Berlin court intended to force Germany to stop arms exports to Israel .
The case was dismissed by the court in June on the grounds that it was simply too late: Germany , the government had said, was no longer sending weapons to Israel anyway.
There is presently no public information about what new weapons export licenses Germany is or is not approving.
