Merz takes his hand from Netanyahu
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned the Israeli government on Monday led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he will no longer be able to support him, due to the intensification of the offensive in the Gaza strip, informs AFP.
In a televised dialogue in Berlin, Merz said: ‘Honestly, I do not understand what the Israeli army does in the Gaza strip and I do not see what its goal is in affecting the civilian population, as it has been more and more in the last days’. « It can no longer justify this through a fight against Hamas terrorism, » he added.
AFP notes the firmness of criticism against Israel, to whom Germany is one of the most faithful allies, along with the United States.
Despite the growing international pressures for an armistice, the Israelis recently intensified their offensive in the Palestinian territory, where the population is sinister and hungry.
On Monday, 52 people lost their lives following the Israeli bombing of Gaza, said the Palestinian civil defense, which said that 33 victims died in a school where refugees were home to refugees. The Israeli army claims that the highest level ‘terrorists’ were in the objective.
« When the limits are exceeded and international humanitarian law is really violated, and Germany must act, » Merz said. He showed that « we have every interest in staying with Israel, and mutually, I think Germany remains the most important partner in Europe and I want to be that way, but the Israeli government should not do anything that is no longer willing to accept its best friends, » the head of the Berlin government insisted.
Given the past-the six million Jews who have lost their lives because of the policy of extermination of the Nazi regime-Germany is currently considering the existence of Israel.
