The ongoing blockade of aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip and the renewed expansion of hostilities are “unacceptable,” Green Party leader Franziska Brantner said.

Brantner said the German government must “make clear its position on compliance with international humanitarian law.”

Populist politician Sahra Wagenknecht meanwhile demanded an immediate halt to Germany’s arms deliveries to Israel, describing its actions in the Gaza Strip as “a campaign of destruction and a gigantic war crime.”

Wagenknecht, who leads the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, said the German government must immediately end its “policy of solidarity” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
