Scholz: Berlin won't block Eurofighters for Saudi Arabia

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will not stand in the way of further deliveries of Eurofighter jets to Saudi Arabia, a government spokesperson said on Monday, echoing comments made by Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

Baerbock told reporters during a trip to Israel on Sunday, "We do not see the German government opposing British considerations for more Eurofighters for Saudi Arabia."

Asked at a government press conference about Scholz's position on the issue, the government spokesperson said, "The chancellor shares this assessment."
