Germany has solidified the tone to Israel: According to Merz, there is no longer an excuse for the strikes in Gaza
German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz has dramatically changed Berlin’s approach to Israeli Gaza, saying that they could no longer justify themselves as a fight against Hamas.
The harm of the civilian population to such an extent, as it has been increasingly has been in recent days, can no longer be justified as a fight against Hamas terrorism.

Mertz also said that he no longer understands the goal of the Israeli defense gas for the background of the new offensive in the strip, which is expected to become even more intense given yesterday’s comments from the chief of the army Eyal Zamir. « I no longer understand what the Israeli army is doing in the Gaza Strip, for what purpose the civilian population is affected to such an extent, » he said.

Unusual change (but limited)
Merz added that he plans to have a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week to tell him not to overdo it. These comments are unusual in part given the caution of Germany – for historical reasons – in criticism of the Jewish state.

At the same time, the change in Berlin’s tone was also visible in the decision of Vadeful to be sent to the Madrid meeting in European and Arab countries to discuss the next steps in the efforts to master the new escalation.
From a second attempt: The Bundestag chose Friedrich Mertz as Chancellor
Germany has a clear position: without expulsion of the Palestinian population from the strip, the end of hunger. Gaza and the West shore are the Palestinians, on the way to a decision of the conflict through two countries.
