The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has condemned Germany’s plan to give Israel tank ammunition.

Since early October 2023, Israel has killed more than 24,000 people in the besieged Gaza Strip. The Palestinian territory faces a dire humanitarian situation.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Hamas said Germany’s move would amount to its direct involvement in Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza.

The move “makes Germany a direct partner in the war against our people in Gaza,” it said.

The resistance movement further underlined that if Germany goes ahead with its plan, the Palestinians will hold Berlin fully responsible, both politically and morally, for the crimes of Israel against the people of Gaza.

Hamas said Germany has apparently not learned lessons from the past.

On Tuesday, the news magazine Der Spiegel reported that the German government was considering an Israeli request for about 10,000 precision-guided 120mm tank shells. All the agencies involved have approved the request.

Israel has made a similar request to other partners, not least its great benefactor the United States.

US President Joe Biden approved the delivery of 14,000 rounds of tank ammunition for almost $106 million in December.
