Enough with the weak 'concern'. Fuck Germany, you're fully complicit and still bringing up "the right to defend itself". There is no right to defend yourself from those you occupy and murder on a daily basis.
Israel’s expanded attack a ‘concern’ for Gaza’s people, captives: Germany
Germany has condemned Israel’s escalation of attacks on Gaza, calling it a “deep concern”.
“Like every state, Israel has the right to defend itself within the framework of applicable international law,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“However, the current actions could endanger the lives of the remaining hostages, including the Germans, who after almost 600 days still fear for their survival in Hamas prisons.”
A large-scale military offensive also carries the risk of further worsening the catastrophic humanitarian situation of the population in Gaza and diminishes “the prospect of a much-needed long-term ceasefire”.
Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul spoke with his Israeli counterpart, Gideon Saar, today about the issue.
‘Time for empty statements is over’: Rights group
Al Mezan Center for Human Rights has warned Israel is moving forward with its plans to “escalate the genocide” against Palestinians.
As we’ve been reporting, Israel says it is in the opening stages of an expansion of its military offensive on Gaza, which it has dubbed “Gideon’s Chariots”.
“On 7 May, we warned Israel was planning to escalate the genocide in Gaza with the stated aim to seize the territory and forcibly expel Palestinians,” Al Mezan said in a post on X.
“This is no longer a threat. The plan is being carried out. The tools to stop it exist: sanctions, arms embargo, and cutting diplomatic and economic ties.”
More than 300,000 Palestinians displaced from northern Gaza
Gaza’s Government Media Office says more than 200 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks over the past 48 hours, with 1,000 housing units destroyed.
Another 140 victims remain buried in the debris of destroyed buildings with the Israeli military’s “deliberate prevention of ambulance and civil defence crews from reaching the bombed areas in northern Gaza”.
“This is a complex crime that constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, which require the protection of civilians
and the facilitation of rescue operations during times of war,” the office said in a statement.
It condemned “suspicious international silence and actual participation in the ongoing genocide”.
