EU member states continue to sell weapons to Israel in 2026, for amounts in the millions of euros.

• The most directly relevant source (Al Jazeera, published 27 July 2026) appeared after the 8 July 2026 session; however, the data it reports (German licences approved January–May 2026) describes a period before the session date, so it was knowable in principle.
• The claim understates the magnitude: Germany alone approved nearly €800 million in licences to Israel in the first five months of 2026, i.e. hundreds of millions, not merely 'millions'.
• No primary source (e.g., the German Federal Government's official export-licence statistics or the EU's annual report on arms exports) was directly retrieved; confirmation rests on secondary outlets that may draw on the same underlying government data.
