German ambassador to Israel slams ‘disgraceful’ attacks on aid convoys

Germany’s Ambassador to Israel Steffen Seibert has condemned attacks by right-wing Israeli activists on convoys delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza.

“To raid aid trucks and prevent food from reaching the needy is disgraceful. And it certainly won‘t help the Israeli cause of freeing the hostages and securing the country against the terror of Hamas,” he wrote in a post on X.

On Sunday, Israeli far-right activist group Tzav 9, which seeks to stop all humanitarian aid going into Gaza, blocked a shipment as it went through the Tarqumiyah checkpoint near Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

US National Security adviser Jake Sullivan said the attack was “completely and utterly unacceptable behaviour”.
