German conservatives want the government's restrictions on arms exports to Israel lifted following the ceasefire in Gaza.
If the peace process continues, deliveries of military equipment to Israel should resume, said Steffen Bilger, a senior lawmaker from Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservative bloc, on Tuesday.
However, Bilger said the issue would need to be discussed with the centre-left Social Democratic Party, the junior partner in Merz's coalition.
Alexander Hoffmann from the Bavaria-only Christian Social Union (CSU) - which is in alliance with Merz's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) at the national level - was even more explicit.
"The delivery restrictions must be dropped," he said, while calling on the Foreign Office to change its travel advice for Israel "without delay."
The comments came one day after global leaders, including Merz and US President Donald Trump, travelled to Egypt to attend a ceremony marking the US-backed peace between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Germany has been one of Israel's most vocal supporters since the October 7, 2023, attacks, but Merz announced an embargo on exports of military equipment that could be used in Gaza in August amid mounting alarm over the humanitarian situation in the territory.
The ban was poorly received in Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accusing Berlin of having rewarded Hamas for its terror.
The partial embargo resulted in no deliveries of German military equipment for Israel being approved in the first five weeks after the decision, while €2.46 million ($2.9 million) in exports was approved in mid-September.
