He made these statements in the Italian Senate on the eve of the European Union summit.

Meloni further explained that “after the start of the Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip, the government immediately suspended the issuance of all new permits.” For the export of military products to Israel, contracts signed after October 7 were not implemented, and all export licenses issued before October 7 were reviewed.

Yesterday, Tuesday, some German media claimed that the delivery of weapons to the Zionist regime is subject to the commitment not to use them against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

According to reports, the German government has refused to hand over weapons to the Zionist regime unless the regime provides a written guarantee that these weapons will not be used to attack civilians in Gaza.

Politico magazine also reported on Monday that the government of Berlin, which has not approved any arms sales to the Zionist regime since March, although Netanyahu’s cabinet is not under sanctions, the delivery of weapons to it has been stopped.

Germany’s Bild newspaper wrote that Foreign Minister Analena Baerbock and Economy Minister Robert Haback were the ones who blocked the delivery of new weapons to the Zionist regime. According to reports, high-ranking politicians of the German Green Party have asked the Zionist regime to commit that these weapons will not be used against civilians in Gaza.
