Berlin Condemns Israel’s Minister for Controversial Gaza Remarks
Germany has strongly criticized Israel’s national security minister for suggesting Gaza should be emptied of Palestinians and potentially resettled by Israelis. In a press conference, deputy Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Kathrin Deschauer condemned the statements as “an unacceptable provocation,” emphasizing that Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people.
Itamar Ben-Gvir’s remarks at a conference advocating for Jewish settlements in Gaza have sparked outrage, with supporters of the idea calling for the encouragement of Palestinian emigration from the territory. The US and other countries have opposed such initiatives, citing international law and human rights concerns.
Israel currently faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice over its actions in Gaza, where a brutal offensive has led to thousands of casualties and widespread displacement. The ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis continue to draw international condemnation and calls for a peaceful resolution.
