German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was given approval in principle by US President Joe Biden last Friday to buy Israel’s Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system during his visit to Washington, according to reports.

Germany had already made the decision to buy Israel’s Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system for an estimated €3 billion as part of its new defense strategy following the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the need for protection from Russia’s ballistic missiles.
