29 August 2024 17:47 BST
In a televised statement by the foreign office, Germany expressed concerns over increasing violence, high number of civilians killed and the “extent of rights violations” in the occupied West Bank during ongoing raids by Israel’s military.
"Israel is an occupying force in the West Bank. This means that according to the Geneva Conventions, Israel is obliged to maintain law and order, and in the long term, to end the occupation as soon as possible,” the spokesperson added.
