Overview

• Government data indicate no export approvals were issued from August 8 to September 12, with at least €2.46 million approved between September 13 and 22.
• The newly approved items are classified as other military goods rather than war weapons, and the specific products have not been disclosed.
• The figure is small compared with roughly €250 million in approvals granted from January 1 to August 8, 2025.
• The approvals were revealed in an Economy Ministry response to a parliamentary inquiry by The Left party, reported by the dpa news agency.
• Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously condemned the August restrictions as rewarding Hamas, while Left party lawmaker Lea Reisner called the resumed approvals eyewash.
