“It is increasingly clear that the Israeli army must do more to protect civilians in Gaza. It must find ways to fight Hamas without harming large numbers of Palestinians,” she affirmed.
However, she reaffirmed Germany’s strong support for Israel. She also said that Israel doesn’t have to expel Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
