"At the hearing on April 8, 2024, Nicaragua’s representative criticized the reported delivery of 10,000 rounds of 120-millimeter precision ammunition for tanks from Bundeswehr stocks following a request from Israel. In The Hague on the following day, Germany’s representative confirmed that Israel had requested the munitions but said it was “still being reviewed” and no license had been issued. The representative, Tania Freiin von Uslar-Gleichen, then said the Bundeswehr had not supplied weapons or ammunition to Israel since 2023, claiming “the only items supplied by the German Bundeswehr to Israel are medical supplies and helmets.”
Now, documents obtained by Drop Site and Stern cast doubt on the completeness of that account, indicating that Germany decided what to disclose to the court “in agreement” with Israel.
A document from the German Ministry of Defense dated January 29, 2025 states the government decided, “in agreement with the affected state,” to “disclose details beyond those in the arms export report” for the hearing. The “arms export report” produced by the Ministry of Economics does not contain complete and detailed information on the exported military equipment, but rather information on the total values of the goods exported.
Another letter from the same Ministry dated January 15, 2025 states “the differentiated information on Bundeswehr exports,” which were requested in the lawsuit, was “not disclosed in the proceedings before the ICJ.”
A Cologne Administrative Court decision from May 26, 2025, further confirms this, stating that Germany’s testimony that only “medical supplies and helmets” were supplied “was made, according to the respondent [the German Defense ministry], in agreement with the State of Israel.”
Another letter from the Ministry of Defense, dated July 23, 2025, refers to a “confidentiality agreement” with Israel."
