The German government announced today that it will be reviewing its hundreds of millions of euros of aid for Palestinians, following Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel yesterday.
Germany’s minister of development, Svenja Schulze, said the government had always been careful to check that the money was only used for peaceful ends.
"But these attacks on Israel mark a terrible fracture," she said. "We will now review our entire engagement for the Palestinian territories."
