Olaf Scholz warns Benjamin Netanyahu of offensive in Rafah. Chancellor was criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who recently approved plans for a ground offensive despite international warnings.
ScholZ also contradicted Netanyahu on Saturday about the future prospects for Palestine. A two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians is necessary, the Chancellor said. He will visit Jordan and Israel on his Middle East trip on Saturday and will visit Israel and Jordan on Sunday. He previously tried again to dissuade the Israeli government from launching a groundoffensive against the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
