The United States has warned Israel it may stop supplying the country with weapons unless the humanitarian situation in Gaza improves.

Germany will continue to help Israel defend itself by supplying weapons, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Thursday, adding that Israel must abide by international law and that a two-state solution was the ultimate goal.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised Israel further arms deliveries for the country's ongoing military offensives in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. "There are deliveries and there will always be further deliveries.

In the past eight weeks, the German government has approved military equipment and munitions exports to Israel worth around €31 million ($33.7 million), more than twice as much as during the entire rest of the year.

Germany will supply more weapons to Israel soon, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Thursday, after a significant drop in deliveries this year prompted opposition accusations that Berlin deliberately delayed the exports.

The chancellor said weapons deliveries to Israel would continue, while calling on the country to respect international humanitarian law. He also spoke about Ukraine and the German economy in an address to the Bundestag.
