German minister reticent on arms for Israel after Iran strikes
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has left open the question of whether the Israeli overnight attacks on Iran will have consequences for his country's arms exports to Israel. During a visit to Cairo at the start of his first Middle East trip – hours after scores of warplanes targeted Iran's nuclear sites and military leadership - the diplomat said the Federal Security Council would take its time to discuss the issue. "But I don't expect any far-reaching decisions to be made in the short term," Wadephul added. In recent weeks, there have been repeated calls from the Social Democrats – the junior partner in Germany's new ruling coalition - for a halt to arms deliveries due to Israel's military action in the Gaza Strip. However, the conservative alliance of Chancellor Friedrich Merz, to which Wadephul belongs, rejects a ban on exports. Following the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel until May 13, 2025, arms exports worth almost €500 million ($578 million) were approved for Israel, the Economics Ministry said recently in response to a question in parliament. It is not known whether and to what extent the new German government has authorized exports during its first weeks in office. Peace efforts Wadephul was set to meet with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdel-Atty in Cairo on Friday amid ongoing efforts to halt the fighting in the Gaza Strip. He and Abdel-Atty are due to discuss the dramatic humanitarian situation in Gaza, including ways to provide support to the Palestinian population as well as a potential path to peace. Egypt, which borders the embattled Gaza Strip, has been a vocal supporter of the Palestinians, strongly rejecting proposals by Israel and the United States to resettle Gazans to Arab states in the region. The northern African country has also been involved in mediating ceasefire negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian extremist group Hamas. Germany officially supports the two-state solution, which envisions an independent Palestinian state coexisting peacefully alongside Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas both adamantly reject this solution to the decades-old conflict. Egyptian officials might try to persuade Germany, one of Israel's strongest backers behind the US, to exert pressure on Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza. Wadephul has changed his travel plans in light of current events, cancelling planned stops in Jordan and Israel. Wadephul said on Friday he would travel on to Saudi Arabia for talks on Saturday. "Continuing the trip to Israel or Jordan at this point in time seems out of the question," he said in earlier remarks. The minister was originally scheduled to continue to Lebanon on Friday afternoon, with further planned stops in Syria as well as Jordan and Israel.

Letters to the Editor: No one brought in the Marines to quell sporting event chaos, so why protests?
To the editor: I'm getting tired of explaining to people that a couple of dozen idiots turned a peaceful protest into a media event frenzy by turning violent ('Who's telling the truth? Searching for a shared reality amid L.A. protests,' June 10). But, after living in L.A. for nearly 30 years, I can honestly say I've seen more chaos at celebrations when the Dodgers or Lakers win. And no one suggests bringing in the National Guard and Marines. In the meantime, masked ICE thugs are throwing innocent citizens into vans and carting them off. President Trump promised to clear the U.S. of violent criminals. But this seems to have manifested as seamstresses, car wash attendants and farmworkers, who have been here for 10-plus years, and who have legal children here, being treated as violent offenders in order to meet his quotas. If you've ever seen photos of 1930s German soldiers throwing Jews into trains to be carted off and you don't see the similarities, then you're just lying to yourself. Robert Braunstein, Santa Monica .. To the editor: A dozen people arrested on charges such as failure to disperse, receiving stolen property and commercial burglary. Seven arrests were in connection with smash-and-grab incidents at two stores. A Metro bus in Echo Park was set on fire and a downtown store was looted. The Los Angeles Police Department declared four unlawful assemblies and used less-lethal munitions to control hostile crowds. Mayor Karen Bass said violence will not be tolerated. Was this a radical left-wing mob engaged in insurrection? No, what I just described was a 'celebration' by sports fans on Oct. 31, 2024, following the Dodgers' World Series victory. Ken Brock, Yucca Valley This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.

Europe must prepare for US scaling down support for Ukraine, Pistorius says
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said Europe must begin preparing for a gradual reduction in U.S. military support for both the continent and Ukraine, Tagesschau reported on June 13. "Yes, that's right. That would be so, and we have to deal with that," Pistorius told journalists in response to a question about the U.S. potentially scaling down its support. He noted that the discussions focus on a reduction in U.S. backing rather than a full halt. The comments come after U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Washington would reduce the assistance allocated to Ukraine in the next year's federal budget. "We now have to look at how much support drops and whether Europeans can compensate for it," Pistorius added. While the U.S. has been Ukraine's leading military backer under former President Joe Biden, the Trump administration has yet to approve any aid packages and has become increasingly disengaged from peace talks. Pistorius's comments come amid increasing uncertainty in transatlantic relations. U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker confirmed on May 16 that the United States plans to begin discussions with European allies later this year about reducing its military presence on the continent. Speaking at a security conference in Estonia, Whitaker said the talks would begin after the NATO summit in The Hague in June. "Nothing has been determined," Whitaker said, according to Reuters. "But as soon as we do, we are going to have these conversations in the structure of NATO." Whitaker emphasized that any drawdown would be closely coordinated to avoid creating security gaps. Still, he reiterated U.S. President Donald Trump's position that long-standing U.S. efforts to reduce its European military footprint must now be implemented. "This is going to be orderly, but we are not going to have any more patience for foot-dragging in this situation," he said. In February, Hegseth reportedly told NATO allies that "stark strategic realities" prevent the United States from being primarily focused on Europe's security. Leaks reported by the Atlantic in March revealed that both Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance privately criticized European defense spending, with Hegseth allegedly expressing his "loathing of European free-loading." Trump called on NATO member states to increase defense spending up to 5% of GDP. Ahead of the upcoming NATO summit in The Hague on June 24–25, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that member states will have agreed to a new goal of increasing defense spending. "We are headed for a summit in six weeks in which virtually every member of NATO will be at or above 2%, but more importantly, many of them will be over 4%, and all will have agreed on a goal of reaching 5% over the next decade," Rubio told Fox News on May 15. Such a move would mark a historic shift, with NATO partners collectively accounting for more than half of the alliance's military capacity, according to Rubio. Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine in 2022, NATO members have significantly increased their defense spending, with countries like Poland and the Baltic nations aiming to reach the 5% target in the coming years.
