Leaked: 80 Years After Holocaust, Israel-Germany Strike Historic 2 Billion Euro Defence Deal | World News
Israel-Germany Defense Agreement: A historic shift has emerged in global defense alliances. Decades after Nazi Germany’s effort to exterminate the Jews, Germany now relies on Israeli technology for its military might. Tel Aviv supplies missiles, drones and air defense systems to Berlin. Recently, the two countries signed a 2 billion euro deal for Spike anti-tank missiles. Israeli officials say the agreement “reverses history.”
At the G7 summit, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Israel was “doing a dirty job for all of us” when asked about the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. The statement showed Germany’s unprecedented confidence in Israel’s capabilities. Merz’s words mark a dramatic departure from history and reflect Germany’s distrust of the people once targeted by the Nazi regime.

Friedrich Merz, leader of the CDU party, announced plans to establish the strongest army in Europe. Germany’s armed forces have faced criticism for years for underinvestment and soldiers lacking even basic equipment. The current government has introduced reforms that have allowed defense spending to increase significantly.
Germany plans to recruit young people through a lottery system and has prepared a list of equipment for the armed forces worth 37.7 billion euros.
Surprisingly, much of this new military force relies on Israeli missiles, drones and air defense systems.
Leaked Documents Reveal Full Scale
Leaked documents show that Israel allocated 700 million euros for self-exploding unmanned aerial vehicles from Elbit and 100 million euros for ammunition to be used with Heron unmanned aerial vehicles. The 2 billion euro Spike anti-tank missile deal is considered one of Israel’s largest deals in Europe.
The recent arrest of three suspects in Berlin was made possible with the help of Mossad. Israel’s intelligence agency confirmed that the operation was part of a wider European network.
Germany purchased the Arrow-3 missile defense system from Israel in 2023 for 4 billion euros. It has the capacity to intercept intercontinental missiles from countries such as Russia.
Israeli defense officials say this change is unprecedented. While German technology once targeted Jews, Israeli systems now protect German forces.
Israel Answers
Major General Amir Baram from the Israeli Ministry of Defense said, “Germany’s confidence in our capabilities sends the message that we have left historical suffering behind. We are proud that our systems are now part of Germany’s new army.”
Chancellor Merz’s connection to the Holocaust is personal. His grandfather was a Nazi party member and was involved in decisions such as naming streets after Adolf Hitler. He became emotional during the recent reopening of the Munich synagogue, which was destroyed in Nazi violence.
Criticism in Germany
Merz’s pro-Israel policies have come under criticism in Germany. Some accuse the government of being soft on Israel’s actions in Gaza. In August, Germany temporarily halted arms supplies to Gaza.
Merz acknowledged the difficulty of justifying the increasing destruction in the region.
Israel responded graciously to Germany’s internal criticism. Israel’s ambassador to Berlin said, “When our friends like Merz criticize, we listen carefully.”
