Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel has accused the US president of stirring up conflicts in the Middle East and risking a new arms race as Qatar's neighbors cut diplomatic ties. Saudi's foreign minister is visiting Berlin.

"US President Trump's recent giant military contracts with Gulf monarchies raise the risk of a new spiral in arms sales," Gabriel warned in the interview to be published Wednesday.

Gabriel said it seemed the intention was "to more or less completely isolate Qatar and affect it existentially."
"That is the completely wrong policy and certainly not the policy of Germany," Gabriel said.
Germany is part of a six-nation group had pushed for the 2015 nuclear de-escalation deal with Iran - Saudi Arabia's regional rival - to avert such a Middle East arms spiral, Gabriel added.
"A deep conflict between neighbors is actually the last thing we need," Gabriel warned.

So we stop selling weapons to the Saudis, too? Finally.

 

[Valhelm]

He's absolutely correct, but Germany is also complicit.

Saudis don't want german weapons as long as it's unpopular in germany anymore (atleast that's what they say).

It doesn't matter. It's stupid when the other country actually notices how extremly unpopular the sale of weapons is, but the own government does not..

Heh, it's okay: as the Orange Chief said himself, peace in the Middle-East shouldn't be all that hard to achieve anyway.
