Germany hits back over case it is facilitating genocide with arms support to Israel
GERMANY hit back today over a case brought by Nicaragua that accused Berlin of facilitating genocide by providing arms and other support to Israel in its deadly assault on Gaza.
Christian Tams, a member of Germany’s legal team, told the 16-judge panel at the United Nations International Court of Justice that “the minute we look closely, Nicaragua’s accusations fall apart.”
Mr Tams said that Germany had licenced only four exports of weapons of war to Israel since October, “three of which concern test or practice equipment.”
