Germany vows continued support of Israel as FM visits Berlin
German foreign minister Johann Wadephul (Image credit: AP) Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar met with his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, in Berlin on Thursday. The meeting took place a day after Wadephul promised that Germany would send more arms to Israel despite growing international calls for a weapons embargo. Speaking at a press conference with his counterpart, Saar, Wadephul criticized Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip. The German minister said he had renewed his "urgent request to allow humanitarian aid to Gaza" without restrictions as required by international law. Wadephul also decried the Israeli government's announcement that it would allow 22 more settlements in the West Bank. He said that the German government "rejects" the creation of new Israeli settlements there as illegal under international law. Meanwhile, Saar appealed to Germany to give a chance to an alternative foundation to distribute humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is controversial because it is supported by Israel and the United States. It circumvents United Nations aid agencies and other initiatives, and it has been accused of endangering civilians in the process. "This effort has the potential to free the Palestinian population from Hamas's stranglehold and end this war," Saar said, adding that this type of distribution could prevent Hamas from appropriating the aid. Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization by the German government, the EU, the US and some Arab states. Wadephul reiterates Germany's support for Israel: However, Wadephul stressed that Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas and other enemies, and that "therefore Germany will of course continue to support Israel with arms deliveries, that was never in doubt." Wadephul also said that recognizing a Palestinian state now would send "the wrong signal," adding that negotiations between Israel and Palestine must conclude before a Palestinian state is recognized. He added that the European Union should maintain its pact governing political and economic ties with Israel, which was placed under review last month due to the situation in Gaza. Thursday's meeting was the second official meeting between the two ministers. The first took place on May 11 in Israel. During Saar's visit to Berlin, dozens of demonstrators protested Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip. The protests began in front of the German Foreign Ministry in the morning under the slogan "Red Line of International Law." Participants waved Palestinian flags and carried banners with slogans such as "No support for war crimes in Gaza," "Stop the arms deliveries," and "Stop the deliberate starvation of the people of Gaza." Ministers commemorate the victims of the Holocaust: Earlier in the day, the two top diplomats laid a wreath at Berlin's Holocaust Memorial, which commemorates the 6 million Jews killed in Europe under Germany's Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945. "The fight against antisemitism, standing up for Jewish life in Germany and the commitment to the security and peaceful future of the state of Israel is and will remain our obligation, Wadephul said as he laid a wreath at the memorial in central Berlin with Saar. The memorial "reminds us Germans to remember the victims, to honour the survivors and to learn the lessons from the crimes against humanity of the Shoah," he added. For his part, Saar said that 80 years after the end of the Holocaust, "the lessons seem to have been forgotten." "In Germany, there's an antisemitic incident once every hour," the Israeli minister said, referring to a report published by a monitor on Wednesday. Wadephul said he was "deeply ashamed" that anti-Semitic offenses in Germany have reached a new high. Wadephul's apparent reversal on arms deliveries for Israel: Wadephul's promise of more arms deliveries to Israel on Wednesday came as an apparent reversal of comments made to the German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung last week. There, he suggested that further arms shipments to Israel were dependent on a government review of whether Israeli actions in Gaza complied with international humanitarian law. Israel launched its offensive in the Gaza Strip in response to raids led by the Palestinian militant group Hamas in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, in which some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed and some 250 hostages were taken. The country is now coming under increasing international pressure to stop its military operation in view of the desolate humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territory. Gazan health authorities estimate 54,000 people have been killed.

‘What's bad about that?': Netanyahu admits Israel supported armed Gaza group opposing Hamas, sparks controversy
File photo: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Picture credit: AP) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that Israel is backing an armed faction in Gaza that opposes Hamas, amid widespread criticism and warnings from security experts about empowering what has been described as a criminal gang. His remarks follow claims by former defence minister Avigdor Liberman that weapons were transferred to the group at Netanyahu's direction. 'What did Liberman leak? That security sources activated a clan in Gaza that opposes Hamas? What is bad about that?' Netanyahu said in a video posted Thursday. 'It is only good, it is saving the lives of Israeli soldiers.' According to news agency AFP , the group in question is linked to a local Bedouin tribe in Rafah and led by Yasser Abu Shabab, described by the European Council on Foreign Relations as heading a 'criminal gang' accused of looting aid trucks. The ECFR also said Hamas had previously jailed Abu Shabab for drug smuggling. Israeli and Palestinian media have reported that this group, calling itself the Popular Forces, has received weapons, money and shelter from Israeli security forces. Hamas recently claimed that the group had 'chosen betrayal and theft as their path' and accused them of working in coordination with the Israeli army to loot humanitarian aid and fabricate crises in Gaza. Michael Milshtein, a Palestinian affairs expert at Tel Aviv's Moshe Dayan Center, was quoted by news agency AFP as saying that the Israeli decision to support Abu Shabab's group 'was a fantasy' and warned, 'I really hope it will not end with catastrophe.' The controversy comes at a time of deepening crisis in Gaza. Palestinians marked Eid al-Adha amid destroyed homes, with prayers held in the rubble of collapsed mosques and widespread food shortages. 'There is no food, no flour, no shelter, no mosques, no homes,' said Kamel Emran in Khan Younis. 'This is the worst feast that the Palestinian people have experienced.' Israel launched its offensive in Gaza following the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack that killed around 1,200 people in Israel. Since then, more than 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed, according to Gaza's health ministry. Around 90% of Gaza's population has been displaced, and the United Nations warns that the entire territory is at risk of famine. In response to aid looting and distribution challenges, Israel had backed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a new group of largely American contractors, as an alternative to the UN. However, amid rising violence, all its centres were shut on Friday. The Foundation urged residents to stay away from distribution points until further notice. The Popular Forces, in a Facebook statement, denied collaborating with Israel. 'Our weapons are simple, outdated, and came through the support of our own people,' it claimed. Despite this, four of its members were reportedly killed by Hamas in recent days, with local tribal leaders labelling Abu Shabab a 'collaborator and gangster.' As per AFP, Netanyahu's decision has triggered serious concerns among Israeli analysts and critics who fear the move could destabilise the region further. 'The Shabak or the military thought it was a wonderful idea to turn this militia, gang actually, into a proxy,' Milshtein said.
