German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticised Israel’s activity in Gaza on Tuesday saying his country is “more than concerned”.
He added that "what has happened in the last few days does not appear necessary to fight Hamas terrorism and protect Israel's existence".
The German leader’s remarks come a day after he had also spoken about the suffering of the civilians in Gaza, saying on Monday that the harm Palestinians are subjected to in the Strip could no longer be justified as a fight against Hamas.
"When boundaries are crossed, where humanitarian international law is really being violated, then Germany too, then the German chancellor too must say something about it," Merz told broadcaster WDR in a televised interview.
