Overview

  • Several SPD politicians, including Adis Ahmetovic and Ralf Stegner, have called for an immediate halt to German arms exports to Israel, citing potential violations of international law and the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
  • The Israeli military continues its intensified operations in Gaza, with reports of significant civilian casualties, including journalists and medical personnel, over the weekend.
  • Israel has allowed additional humanitarian aid into Gaza, with 107 trucks delivering food and supplies on Sunday, but the UN and other organizations deem the assistance insufficient to address the dire needs of the population.
  • Spain's Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has called for an international arms embargo on Israel, emphasizing the need to reduce the flow of weapons into the conflict zone.
  • German Antisemitism Commissioner Felix Klein has urged a reevaluation of Germany's stance on Israel, stressing that support for Israel's security must not justify disproportionate actions or worsening humanitarian conditions.
