German support for Israel waning amid mounting death toll and famine threat in Gaza
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded to Baerbock on X.
“We expect our friends to continue supporting Israel during these challenging times and not weaken it against the terrorist organization Hamas,” he said.
Berlin, like Washington, has tried to back Israel by being its second-largest arms supplier but not allowing it to go so far.
But Germany is not as powerful as the United States. It needs to maintain friendly relations around the world to pursue its interests, whether it is forging agreements with Egypt to address the migration crisis in Europe or rallying support for measures backing Ukraine against Russia.
The same goes with Israel.
Now that the US, the most important ally of Germany, is showing growing dissatisfaction with the genocidal actions of Israel, Germany is also starting to shift its tone. The discontentment was notably displayed when the US refused to use its veto power in United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2728. Instead, the US chose to abstain.
The resolution, adopted on Mar. 25, demands an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war for the month of Ramadan that will lead to lasting peace, the immediate and unconditional release of hostages and “the urgent need to expand the flow” of aid into Gaza.
