And Germany reacted. After months denouncing the massacre perpetrated by the Israeli government about the civilian population of Gaza, in the midst of its invasion campaign of the Palestinian enclave by the brutal attacks of Hamas of 7-O, the executive of the conservative Friedrich Merz passes from the warnings and touches of attention to taking real measures.
Berlin has suspended any shipping from weapons to Israel that can be used in the Gaza Strip -if it is still clear to what kind of weapons and technology affects -, in retaliation for the decision of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamín Netanyahu, that they currently live overcrowded in tents. However, the German decision that although it is not complete and total is one of the greatest fears in Tel Aviv.
The reason that this is a weight measure is because Germany is the main European weapons export country to Israel -Eeuu is its great ally in this matter and supplier of explosives and spare parts for combat airplanes. “In these circumstances, the federal government will not approve any export of military material that could be used in the Gaza Strip,” Merz himself said.
A decision between the recognition pressure wall … and the usual Israeli sword
The decision comes on the same day in which Netanyahu’s plans and the most ultras Israeli hawks will be held and officially confirmed. The main European countries have already shown their rejection, as will translate “in more murders, more unbearable suffering, meaningless destruction and heinous crimes.” Words of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk.
However, what is marked in red in the calendar is directly the month of September. That is the term that have given Israel a series of countries that have historically constituted their support and diplomatic allies, but that after more than 60,000 dead Palestinians – the vast majority women and children – have also been forced to follow the wake of other countries. , Ireland or Norway to recognize the Palestinian State.
Precisely, . No, no countries are adopting a basic decision to be able to travel the path indicated by the majority of nations in the world, the solution of the two states. The three belong to the select G7 Club and integrate the UN Security Council, sterile seats in this case before the constant US position of vetoing everything that goes against Israel’s interests.
An eventual German recognition of the Palestinian State is a very thorny issue in German domestic politics for historical trauma derived from what happened during Nazi Germany and World War II. For this reason it is not difficult to interpret that the Merz executive – which governs in coalition with the social democrat of the SPD – needed a forceful gesture with which to join the international pressure on Netanyahu and the ultras.
