Germany To Agree to Armored Vehicle Deal with Israel: Report
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, BERLIN

The German government has agreed to lift its opposition to the sale to Israel of German-made Dingo 2 armored vehicles, a press report said Saturday citing government sources.
Germany’s national security council which has a say in the vehicles’ export has no objections to the shipment, said Die Welt. Council decisions are secret.
The government of former chancellor Gerhard Schroeder refused to give the green light for Dingo exports to Israel in 2002 arguing that the vehicles could be used in the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel.
The Dingo APV (All Protected Vehicle) was designed by German company Krauss-Maffei to provide a safe and secure multi-purpose vehicle for military and peacekeeping operations.
U.S. company Textron Systems has secured a local production license for a similar Dingo 2 vehicle in the United States for domestic and foreign military sales contracts.
