Saudi Arabia wants to buy 600 to 800 German Leopard 2 tanks A7, says the German newspaper Bild am Zonntag. In the past, Israel did not export arms to Gulf countries because of its relations with Israel and recently also because of the Arab Spring. The German government has not officially reacted to the announcement but the office of Chancellor, the Foreign Ministry and the Defense oppose while the German Treasury supports this sale. According to the weekly, this command could ensure the future of German arms manufacturer, Krauss-Maffei-Wegmann.
