The German government approved nearly €800 million ($930 million) in arms exports to Israel between January and June, according to a government response to a parliamentary inquiry cited by Der Spiegel. [^1]

The German Ministry of Economics and Energy reported that export licenses totaling 800 million euros were granted to German defense industry producers for Israel between January and June 2025. [^2]

Just over two-thirds of the approved value is tied to the INS 'Drakon', a nearly 70-meter-long Dolphin II-class submarine built for Israel by German shipbuilder TKMS. [^3]

The approved sum is four times higher than the total value Berlin greenlighted for Israel last year. [^4]

The Left Party accused Berlin of 'boundless double standards' over the deals, with MP Lea Reisner stating the government supports a regime facing genocide charges before the International Criminal Court. [^5]

Approximately 67 percent of the 735.8 million euros approved in the second quarter of 2025 relates to a maritime project involving the submarine INS Drakon. [^6]
