German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has promised Israel further arms deliveries for its ongoing military offensives in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.

“There are deliveries and there will always be further deliveries. Israel can rely on that,” Scholz said in remarks to parliament. The chancellor said Germany must keep Israel “in a position to defend its country”.

“Israel can rely on our solidarity — now and in the future,” he added.

Scholz said humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza is still needed, and rules of international law had to be observed in conflicts in the Middle East.
