⚡️🇩🇪 NEW - Germany Begins to Shift on Israel
“Harming the civilian population to such an extent, as has increasingly been the case in recent days, can no longer be justified as a fight against Hamas terrorism.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in a TV interview, signaled a shift from Germany’s unwavering support for Israel. He expressed confusion over the objectives of the Israeli army’s operations in Gaza and said that he will raise these concerns directly with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The shift comes as a poll conducted by Der Tagesspiegel found that 51% of respondents oppose arms deliveries to Israel. The poll also revealed growing public support for Berlin to distance itself from Netanyahu’s government, with 44% favoring a more critical stance toward Israel—up from 33% in the summer of 2023.
