Federal Government: Israeli repopulation of the Gaza Strip “completely unacceptable”. On Sunday, thousands in Jerusalem demanded the return of Jewish settlers to the Gaza strip - including ministers from Netanyahu's government.
Berlin condemns "in the strongest possible terms the participation and statements made by parts of the Israeli government" The latest statements “contribute to aggravation of the situation in the current conflict and clearly violate international law,” says Foreign Office spokesman Sebastian Fischer. "Because Gaza belongs to the Palestinians and they themselves must be able to decide about their future," he adds.
