WadePhul: Germany's clear line between Israel and Gaza help!

Foreign Minister Johann WadePhul warned in a current statement about the instrumentalization of anti -Semitism allegations by Israel. In a report by Süddeutsche Zeitung he emphasized that the fight against anti-Semitism and the support of Israel may serve in the Gaza strip. WadePhul made it clear that Germany cannot be put under pressure and rejected compulsory solidarity. At the same time, he confirmed the upcoming visit of the Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar in Berlin.

WADEPHUL recognizes the right of Israel to act against Hamas, but demands that this is in relation to the situation. He also expressed his concern about the insufficient care of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip with staple foods and medication. Germany wants to show solidarity with Israel, but does not rule out the support of the people in the Gaza Strip. In the case of future arms deliveries to Israel, there will be a "red line", the exact definition of which is still unclear. In addition, WadePhul announced that the Federal Government will act against arms deliveries if humanitarian international law is violated.

European reactions to the conflict

The reactions to the conflict between Israel and Hamas are very different in Europe. According to the information of the Federal Center for Political Education Hangs the evaluation of the situation of the history and the relationships between the individual countries to Israel and Palestine from. For example, Czech Republic has decided to vote against an UN application for humanitarian ceasefire and shows historically narrow ties to Israel.

Ireland, on the other hand, recognized Palestine as a state and questioned trade agreements with Israel. Prime Minister Simon Harris criticized the Israeli approach after an air raid on an school building in Gaza. The Irish media support the government's attitude and emphasize human rights. Similarly, Spain, which Palestine recognized in May 2024, increased its humanitarian support for Palestinian areas and expressed doubts about compliance with humanitarian international law by Israel.

human rights in the context of hostility

Human Rights Watch criticized the European governments for their inadequate reactions to the increase in anti -Semitism and Islamophobia. A report by Human Rights Watch Countries have risen sharply. 218 anti -Semitic incidents were recorded in London, while France reported 588 anti -Semitic acts.

In addition, an increase in Islam -anti -Islam hate crimes was registered, with a significant increase in 101 cases in London in the same period. The lack of protection and discrimination against Muslim and Arab migrants were also convicted. HRW also criticized that the political approaches of many European countries promote discrimination instead of protecting the right to the lives and security of all people.

Overall, the situation in the Middle East and the associated political and social developments in Europe remains extremely complex. The upcoming decisions and measures will be crucial to address both the humanitarian needs of the people in Gaza as well as to combat anti -Semitism in Europe.
