ICJ hears Nicaragua’s case against Germany over Israel’s war on Gaza

Germany has been accused of aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza, in a case before the UN’s top court in The Hague, Netherlands. It was brought by Nicaragua and calls for emergency measures to stop Germany from selling weapons to Israel. It also wants Berlin to restore funding to the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA. More than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in six months of bombardment – nearly half of them children. Ambassador Carlos Jose Gomez is representing Nicaragua. He argues that this conflict will last for generations if countries like Germany continue their indiscriminate support of Israel. Daniel Muller represents Nicaragua’s claims that Germany violates […]

Germany state elections: Voters head to the polls in Bavaria

Elections in Germany’s largest state Bavaria are being seen as a test of where Europe’s largest economy is heading. Polls show increasing support for the far-right party the Alternative for Germany (AFD). Traditionally, the party is stronger in the east of the country. But with migration dominating this election campaign, the anti-immigration party is gaining support in the west as well. Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports from Munich, Germany.

Dozens evacuated as smoke from Hamburg fire halts trains

Police and the fire department have warned people in Hamburg, Germany, to close their windows after a large fire engulfed several warehouses and sent black, chemical-laden smoke drifting over the city. About 140 people were evacuated on Sunday, and it is not yet clear how dangerous the situation is, a police spokesperson said. A fire department spokesperson said it had reduced the threat level somewhat even though the fire was still burning at midday (10:00 GMT) but that people should remain indoors with their windows closed.

Germany’s support for sending tanks to Ukraine falls

Support for sending heavy weapons to Ukraine appears to be waning in Germany. A poll shows that some fear sending Leopard tanks will lead to an escalation of the war. Support for Ukraine is illustrating how Germany struggles with its dark past and a dark reality at its doorstep.

What’s behind Germany’s hesitance over Leopard 2 battle tanks?

Ukrainian soldiers in the field now use German Gepard anti-aircraft guns to defend their skies, German anti-tank weapons to pierce Russian armour, and German howitzers to shell enemy troops. But the prize that Ukraine urgently seeks to regain territory before an expected Russian offensive this spring, the German-manufactured Leopard 2 battle tank, remains frustratingly out of reach. Germany is one of the largest donors of military hardware to Ukraine, but over 11 months of war, Berlin has only stepped up deliveries under pressure and only after other allies made the first move. If it were to provide the battle tanks, or even licence the re-export of Leopards from other countries’ […]
