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]

Why these sources, and not others

How the desk chose them

We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
