everyone else is tiptoing around the issue.

Germany announced it is putting arms exports to the Saudis on hold...but there is a catch, that only applies to future contracts, not the existing $400 million contract:

Riyadh’s explanations so far had not been satisfactory, Altmaier told broadcaster ZDF, adding, “The government is in agreement that we will not approve further arms exports for the moment because we want to know what happened.”

So far this year Berlin had approved weapons exports worth more than 400 million euros ($462 million) to Saudi Arabia, making it the second-biggest recipient of German arms after Algeria.

Asked whether Germany would roll back previously agreed arms deals with Saudi, he said a decision would be made very soon. The EU needed a unified position to avoid some countries filling the gap, he added.
