Germany suspends weapons exports to Israel
Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Germany on Friday suspended further military exports to Israel over the latter's public comments about entirely taking over the Gaza Strip. "In the German Government's view, the new military push by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip agreed by the Israeli security cabinet last night makes it increasingly unclear how these goals are to be achieved," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said in a statement issued Friday. "Under these circumstances, the German Government will, until further notice, authorize no military equipment exports that can be used in the Gaza Strip." Merz did say that Germany believes Israel has the right to defend itself from terror and that "Hamas must not be allowed to play a role in Gaza's future." Israel's security cabinet on Thursday approved a plan put forth by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take control of Gaza, after almost two full years of war. Netanyahu's plan includes disarming Hamas and gaining security control of the Palestinian enclave. On Aug. 1, Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob said his country would ban all weapons trading between the two countries because of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Slovenia became the first EU country to take such a stand. Germany had previously hinted at taking a similar approach, amid mounting external pressure about the situation in Gaza. "The German government remains profoundly concerned about the continued suffering of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip. With the planned offensive, the Israeli government bears even more responsibility than hitherto for ensuring that civilians can be provided with the supplies they need," Merz said Friday. "It must enable comprehensive access for relief supplies, including for UN organizations and other non-state institutions. Following the correct steps taken in recent days, Israel must continue to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza in a comprehensive and sustainable way." The German Chancellor also urged Israel to refrain "from taking any further steps towards an annexation of the West Bank." Germany is the second-largest importer of military weapons and equipment to Israel, after the United States. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Trump to announce new peace agreement that includes the 'Trump Route'
The peace deal includes a 20-mile route through the South Caucasus connecting Armenia and Azerbaijan. The United States will have exclusive development rights for the corridor. WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump will welcome leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to the White House on Aug. 8 to sign a peace agreement, after decades of conflict, that will reopen critical transportation access in the region, the White House said. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan are expected to sign a joint declaration that establishes what will be known as the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity." The 20-mile route, a key element in the deal, will be a multi-modal transit corridor through the South Caucasus connecting the two countries. The United States will have exclusive development rights along it. More: Trump greenlights Putin sit-down, even if Russian leader does not meet with Zelenskyy "By locking into this path to peace, we are unlocking the great potential of the South Caucasus region in trade, transit and energy flows," Anna Kelly, White House deputy press secretary, told reporters. "This president has yet again shown that we can move beyond longstanding conflicts of the past and move toward the future." A senior Trump administration official said that the new Trump corridor will open trade and connectivity to Armenia, which has been effectively blocked from access along its border with Azerbaijan. More: US plan sees Hezbollah disarmed by year-end, Israeli withdrawal Trump administration officials have quietly worked for months to secure an agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. "These two Nations have been at War for many years, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people," Trump said in an Aug. 7 post on his social media site Truth Social, lauding his victory. "Many Leaders have tried to end the War, with no success, until now, thanks to 'TRUMP.'" Additionally, Trump will sign agreements with leaders of both countries on energy, technology, economic cooperation, border security, infrastructure and trade with the United States. No additional details were provided. Armenia and Azerbaijan have been at odds since the late 1980s when Nagorno-Karabakh ‒ an Azerbaijani region that had a mostly ethnic-Armenian population ‒ broke away from Azerbaijan with support from Armenia. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan won independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Contributing: Reuters Reach Joey Garrison on X @joeygarrison.
