Olaf Scholz in Israel: “We cannot stand by and watch Palestinians risk starvation” He again warned of an Israeli offensive near Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The more the number of civilian victims increases, the more desperate the situation of the people in the Gaza Strip becomes, he says.
Fighting the radical Islamic Hamas is a legitimate goal of Israel, he adds, adding that Hamas is still holding over 100 hostages. This is a cruel crime that must end immediately.
