Last week, Bild reported that Germany has not responded to Israel's request for tank ammunition and other weapons since last year, but has approved Qatar's request for arms supplies. Several other media outlets later reported on this.
"There is no stop in issuing licenses to export arms to Israel, and there will be no stop," the spokesman told the newspaper.
