‘Moment has come’ for Gaza ceasefire: German chancellor
Friedrich Merz says Israel’s war in Gaza should be brought to an end.
Speaking in parliament on Tuesday, the German chancellor said “the moment has come” for a ceasefire in the enclave between Israel and Hamas.
Although Merz noted that Israel “has a right to defend its existence and the safety of its citizens”, he stressed that Germany is allowed to “critically question what Israel wants to achieve in the Gaza Strip”.
Merz urged Israel to ensure “humane treatment of the people in the Gaza Strip, especially women, children and the elderly”.
