Germany-Israel: Duke: Israel has humanitarian international law in Gaza

Before visiting Berlin this Monday, Israel’s President Izchak Herzog defended the warfare of his country in the Gaza Strip. “We always look at the pain of people in conflicts and we follow humanitarian international law,” he said in ZDF- “Today Journal”.

“I am aware that there is sorry in Gaza,” admitted Herzog. “But we also have to understand who we face. This is an infrastructure of terror. And it is controlled by Hamas in the houses, in the living rooms, in the bedrooms. There are ammunition, there are rockets.” You are dealing with a jihadist, evil enemy who is not interested in the population in Gaza.

Duke said Israel undertook everything to ensure that humanitarian aid comes to Gaza. Aid organizations, however, report that Israel has no more in the Gaza Strip for more than two months. That is “partially wrong information,” said Herzog. “It’s about psychological warfare through Hamas.” If Hamas release the Israeli hostages, the reality in the Gaza Strip will also change.

Germany and Israel celebrate 60 years of relationships

The occasion of the visit of Herzog is the recording of diplomatic relationships exactly 60 years ago. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will receive his guest, with whom he is friends, welcomes military honor in the Bellevue Castle in the morning. Herzog is also meeting with Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) in Berlin. The presidents will then spend Tuesday and Wednesday together in Israel.

In an interview with the “Welt”, Herzog made it clear that he also draws hope for a peace in Middle East from the recording of diplomatic relationships with Germany 60 years ago: “If after the darkest time of history, after the worst atrocities of the Nazis on the Jews in the Second World War, 60 years of diplomatic relationships with Germany can be celebrated today, then I have hope that we can dream of peace with the Palestinians.”
