German Foreign Minister Johan Fadivoul confirmed that his country’s government is committed to the imposition of more sanctions on settlers involved in violence, according to the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.
Violence against the Palestinians in the West Bank
Fadivoul pointed out that illegal settlements represent a major obstacle to a two -state solution, and that the policy of settlement expansion is clearly inconsistent with international law.
During his visit to the Palestinian territories, he stressed that the escalation of extremist settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank is a crime and terrorism, stressing the need to prosecute those responsible for it and provide protection for the Palestinians.
In a related context, France began today, Friday, to drop 40 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza, while Israel called for a full access to aid to the sector, which it said was close to starvation.
President Emmanuel Macron stressed on the X platform that his country carried out an air landing of food in Gaza with the participation of Jordan, the Emirates and Germany, thanking the partners of France and the military forces participating in the operation.
Macron stressed that air landing is not sufficient, calling on Israel to open complete humanitarian corridors to address the threat of starvation.
