The German Foreign Minister had the previous two -day meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gidon Saar. He conveyed to the Israeli leadership the message to immediately end the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, which, as he stressed, “surpasses every imagination” and warned of “Israeli’s international isolation”.

He called on Israel openly to abandon the plans of “displacement” and “attaching” to the Gaza Strip, in time and in Berlin, plans discussed in the Israeli parliament have been raised to be a full concern.
