Wouldn't Germany selling weapons be in direct violation of this
https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/krwaffkontrg/__6.html
Admittedly I'm using Google translate and my very limited knowledge of German here, but wouldn't Germany continuing to sell weapons to Israel be in violation of points 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2?
2.1
3.1
3.1 This is really interesting because it uses the word risk and not confirmed. Thus even the preliminary ruling of the ICJ should be enough to constitute risk here.
Doesn't matter, judiically. The german parliament approves it, therefore it's fine.
