German manufacturer mulls relocating to US to avoid arms embargo against Israel
German automotive manufacturer Renk, which produces tank transmissions and engines for the Israeli military, is considering moving production to the US after the German arms embargo on Israel. Renk CEO Alexander Sagel mentioned the prospective shift on a post-earnings call, as reported by Reuters on Wednesday. The call comes five days after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced the country would freeze military exports to Israel that could be used in the Gaza Strip, amidst an Israeli plan to occupy the entire Palestinian enclave. Israel's war on Gaza has drawn international condemnation, and its plan to empty Gaza City of its one million inhabitants has drawn criticism even from staunch Israeli allies such as Germany. If enforced, the plan would amount to the forced expulsion of Palestinians, an illegal move under international law. Renk produces tank transmissions and engines for the Israeli military, accounting for two to three percent of the company's business portfolio.

'If we cannot produce [transmissions] in Germany, we will relocate these volumes to a different plant, for example, to the US,' Segal said. 'This might take maybe 8 to 10 months, but if there's no move forward, we will do it because we have this business.' Renk has seen rising profits from its vehicle mobility solutions department in recent months, as Israel's genocide in Gaza continues. German embargo Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Friday that the exports were frozen 'until further notice' and expressed concern for the plight of Gaza's Palestinians, who are suffering under Israeli-imposed starvation. Germany is Israel's second-largest supplier of weapons, following the US. Merz said it was Israel's right to disarm Hamas and seek the release of its captives in Gaza, but that these goals have become harder to achieve due to Israel's planned military action. "The German government believes that the even tougher military action in the Gaza Strip decided upon by the Israeli cabinet last night makes it increasingly difficult to see how these goals can be achieved," Merz said in a statement. Politically, Germany is one of Israel's closest allies. The country has not recognised Palestine and has committed to ignoring the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Norway sovereign wealth fund drops investments in 11 Israeli companies Read More » Germany has also cracked down on pro-Palestine speech by banning symbols associated with the movement, such as the inverted red triangle, and by withholding public funds from individuals and organisations that boycott Israel. After Israel's cabinet approved a plan to occupy the entire Gaza Strip, Germany announced it would halt 'any exports of military equipment that could be used in the Gaza Strip until further notice'. If enforced, a German arms embargo could represent a significant step in Israel's growing international isolation. Yet according to the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement, on the same day Germany's arms embargo was announced, the country issued a licence to export a submarine to Israel. On 31 July, Slovenia became the first European Union country to impose an arms embargo on Israel. Citing the failure of the EU to impose restrictions itself, the central European country unilaterally banned the export or import of weapons to Israel.

German gas drive fuels fears of climate backsliding
Sam Reeves, Agence France-Presse Germany's conservative-led government has launched a drive to rapidly build more gas-fired power plants, fuelling fears about climate policy backsliding and sparking unease even within its own ranks. Chancellor Friedrich Merz's coalition has made reviving Europe's struggling top economy a priority and argues that reliable and affordable energy supplies are crucial for the country's manufacturing titans. But critics charge the bid to boost fossil fuel production is ideologically driven and highlights a shift away from green policies under the new government. Merz leads a coalition that includes his centre-right CDU party and junior partners the centre-left SPD — but without the Greens, who were in the last administration. The economy ministry, headed by Katherina Reiche of the CDU, is vocally backing a target of building new gas plants with about 20 gigawatts of power production capacity by 2030. Reiche, a former energy company executive, has argued it is important to "move very quickly" towards building the plants "in order to maintain a high level of security of supply in our country". The goal is to have a backup source of power in times there are shortfalls of renewables, which sometimes happens when the sun is not shining or there is not enough wind. Supporters say more supply is needed in the short term as nuclear power has been switched off in Germany and coal should follow suit in the coming years. They argue natural gas — which emits greenhouse gases but is less polluting than coal — can bridge the gap until enough renewables come online. Under German climate law, the share of renewable electricity consumed in the country should rise to 80 percent by 2030. It stood at around 55 percent in 2024, according to the federal environment agency. Earlier this month, the government agreed gas production could begin off a North Sea island in an area straddling the border with the Netherlands, with a Dutch company planning to extract the fossil fuel, sparking condemnation from environmentalists. Plans to build more gas plants are not new, and the previous government also wanted to expand capacity, but the new targets are around double those of the past. Underlining the new government's changing priorities, Reiche's ministry has been renamed the "Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy" — under the Greens in the previous, SPD-led coalition, it was called the "Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action". She also appeared at one point to question Germany's legally binding target of achieving greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045, sparking tensions with SPD environment minister Carsten Schneider. An economy ministry spokesman told AFP that Reiche "stands by" the current climate goal. "The government is committed to achieving these targets with the political measures at its disposal — while maintaining Germany's position as an industrial location," he said. The Greens have regularly attacked Reiche while more than 380,000 people have so far signed a petition by campaign group Campact warning her policies risk "a dramatic setback in climate policy". But criticism is emerging even within the conservatives. The Climate Union, grouping CDU and other conservative politicians, has warned subsidies for new gas plants could push up power costs, the Handelsblatt financial daily reported. Energy think tank Agora Energiewende estimates that only a maximum of 10 gigawatts of extra gas plants would be needed by 2030 to supplement other power sources. "This will ensure security of supply — even if coal-fired power plants are taken off the grid as planned," Philipp Godron, the head of the group's power programme, told AFP. Meanwhile, questions remain over how quickly the plants can be built, while the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, still needs to give its approval. The economy ministry spokesman told AFP that talks with the EU for putting out tenders for a "significant portion" of the plants were "well-advanced". He also stressed that any new gas-fired plants must be "decarbonised in the long term", for example by switching them to green hydrogen, which was necessary "in view of the decarbonisation of the electricity system and compliance with EU law".

Lufthansa to relaunch nonstop flight from Riyadh to Munich
Lufthansa, a German airline, is set to expand its capacity in Saudi Arabia by around 50 per cent with a new connection from Riyadh to Munich, starting on 27 October 2025. This route had previously been part of Lufthansa's schedule until 2017. The modern Lufthansa Airbus A350-900 will operate the new service, accommodating up to 300 passengers every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning. This route will connect Riyadh to Munich, a five-star airport terminal recognised by Skytrax, providing an ideal link to the global Lufthansa network. The new flight to Germany departs from Riyadh every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:25 a.m., arriving in Munich at 10:25 a.m. local time. The return flight to Riyadh leaves Munich every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 9:45 p.m. for a night flight to the capital of Saudi Arabia, where it is scheduled to land the next morning at 4:50 a.m. local time at King Khalid International Airport. Sadiq Mohamed, General Manager of Sales for Saudi Arabia at Lufthansa Group Airlines, said: 'Munich is one of the most popular destinations in Western Europe for many of our customers. The airport itself is a relaxing, convenient, and beautiful gateway, whether travellers are connecting onward or visiting the city and its stunning surrounding region, known for its castles and picturesque lakes near the Alps.' Lufthansa currently offers daily flights from Dammam and Riyadh to Frankfurt. ITA Airways offers five weekly flights from Riyadh and three weekly flights from Jeddah to Rome, while Eurowings operates seven times a week from Jeddah to Berlin, Cologne, and Stuttgart this winter. These three Lufthansa Group airlines will provide a total of 25 flights a week to Saudi Arabia, with the airlines of the Lufthansa Group flying to the Middle East region more than 120 times a week. Lufthansa has a long tradition in Saudi Arabia, having operated flights to the Kingdom for 65 years. The demand for flights from Riyadh is steadily growing, and the increased air capacity will facilitate easy access to the heart of the Arabian Peninsula for events like the World Expo 2030 and the FIFA Men's World Cup in 2034, as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative. Munich Airport, one of Lufthansa's two major hubs, opens up around 130 global destinations for Saudi Arabian travellers, particularly to Europe, America, and Asia.
