Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has welcomed Germany's decision to halt arms exports to Israel, citing the country's genocide in Gaza. The move comes as the international community expresses outrage over Israel's actions, with over 61,000 people killed, mostly women and children, and 1,700 Palestinians starved to death under Israel's campaign of forced starvation. Other nations, including Slovenia and member nations of the Hague Group, have also imposed arms embargoes on Israel. CAIR calls on the Trump administration and all other governments to end arms transfers to Israel, support international investigations into war crimes, and demand an immediate ceasefire.
