It is one of its biggest arms suppliers, sending 326.5 million euros ($353.70 million) in military equipment and weapons in 2023, according to Economy Ministry data.<br \/>\nGermany and other Western nations have faced street protests, various legal cases, and accusations of hypocrisy from campaign groups who say Israel has killed too many Palestinian civilians in its six-month military assault.<br \/>\nBut Tania von Uslar-Gleichen, legal adviser for the German Foreign Ministry, told the International Court of Justice judges that Nicaragua\u2019s case was rushed, based on flimsy evidence and should be thrown out due to lack of jurisdiction.<br \/>\nGerman arms exports were scrutinised to ensure adherence to international law, she said.<br \/>\n\u201cGermany is doing its utmost to live up to its responsibility vis-a-vis both the Israeli and the Palestinian people,\u201d she added, with Germany the largest individual donor of humanitarian aid to Palestinians.<br \/>\nVon Uslar-Gleichen said Israel\u2019s security was a priority for Germany because of the history of the Nazi decimation of Jews in the Holocaust. \u201cGermany has learned from its past, a past that includes the responsibility for one of the most horrific crimes in human history, the Shoah,\u201d she said, using the Hebrew word.<br \/>\nA lawyer for Germany, Christian Tams, told the court that since Oct. 7, 98% of arms exports to Israel were general equipment like vests, helmets and binoculars. And of four cases where war weapons exports were approved, he said, three concerned arms unsuitable for use in combat like training ammunition.<br \/>\n<strong>NICARAGUA AND SOUTH AFRICA PRESSURE ISRAEL<\/strong><br \/>\nOn Monday, lawyers for Nicaragua had asked the ICJ, or World Court, to order Germany to halt arms sales to Israel and resume funding of U.N. Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA.<br \/>\nThey argued Berlin has violated the 1948 Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law by continuing to supply Israel while aware there was a risk of genocide.<br \/>\nIsrael says its war is against murderous Hamas militants, not Palestinian civilians, and that it is the victim of smear.<br \/>\nThe Islamist group\u2019s Oct. 7 attacks killed 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies. More than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel\u2019s Gaza offensive since then, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave.<br \/>\nThe ICJ is expected to issue provisional measures on Nicaragua\u2019s case in weeks, but a final ruling could take years and the court has no power to enforce it.<br \/>\nIn January, in response to an accusation from South Africa, the ICJ ruled that claims Israel violated some rights guaranteed under the genocide convention were plausible and called for a halt to halt any potential acts of genocide.<br \/>\n(Reuters)arms sales.
