[51518] Israel comes to Germany's aid: Jet fuel on its way to Berlin following the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz
Israel is assisting Germany against the backdrop of the global energy crisis
Following the developing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, news channels Abu Ali Express and Moment News - Army and Security on Telegram report that Israel has decided to comply with Germany's request and transfer surplus jet fuel to them. The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure confirmed that after a professional review, it was found that there are surpluses available for export, with cargo coordination to be carried out with the refineries. In addition, according to reports, the possibility of providing the Germans with assistance in the field of natural gas is currently being examined.
The move was approved as part of Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar's diplomatic visit to Berlin. Sa'ar met with a series of German officials, including Chancellor Friedrich Merz. In a speech he delivered to the Economic Council of the CDU party, Sa'ar emphasized that "in a world where national security is linked to economic stability - Israel is stronger than ever" and noted that the energy cooperation is an expression of the depth of the relations between the countries.
In parallel, Abu Ali Express notes that the German Foreign Minister emphasized Germany's firm commitment to Israel's security, clarifying that Berlin "will not allow any threat to the very existence of the State of Israel." The remarks reflect a clear political line of mutual support in the shadow of regional threats, which also include Iran's attacks on the United Arab Emirates, as noted on Hadashot 360.
The reports reflect a positive approach by the Israeli media toward the move, emphasizing the fact that "little Israel is helping in the supply of energy to a global power," as phrased on Abu Ali Express. The Israeli administration, for its part, emphasizes that this assistance is being examined subject to the continuation of the security situation, and highlights the strategic importance of economic partnerships with Europe.
