In a striking statement, UN Special Rapporteur Prof. Ben Saul highlighted the central role of Germany and the United States in supplying weapons to Israel, accounting for a staggering 99% of the country’s imported arms.
Speaking on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Prof. Saul remarked, “They could stop this conflict overnight if they stopped the weapons that kill the Palestinians.”
The comment has sparked heated global debate over the ethical implications of arms exports to regions engulfed in conflict.
Critics argue that halting weapon supplies could be a pivotal step towards de-escalation, while others contend it might undermine Israel’s security.
As international pressure mounts for a ceasefire, the statement casts a spotlight on the responsibility of arms-exporting nations in shaping the course of prolonged disputes. Will global powers act, or will the weapons keep flowing?
