Merkel: No sale of arms to Saudi Arabia

German Chancellor Angela Merkel vowed to halt all German arms exports to Saudi Arabia until the case of Saudi citizen journalist Jamal Khashoggi is cleared up.

There are reports from different countries regarding the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Consulate General of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced Sunday evening that her government would not approve new arms exports to Saudis until the case of Jamal Khashoggi is cleared up.

"There is an urgent need to clarify what happened. We are far from this having been cleared up and those responsible held to account," she said at a news conference.

"I agree with all those who say that the, albeit already limited, arms exports cannot take place in the current circumstances," Merkel said.
