The German Foreign Minister warns Tel Aviv of the risk of Israel's diplomatic isolation due to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and threats to annex the West Bank, shortly before his trip to Israel.
"The recent UN conference in New York showed that Israel is in an increasingly weak position," said Johan Vandeful, referring to the ministerial conference at which many states supported a two-state solution, Palestinian and Israeli.
He added that "in the face of threats of annexation openly expressed by certain aspects of the Israeli government, more and more countries, including European ones, are willing to recognize a Palestinian state without prior negotiations."
However, applying pressure, he added that "such a process must begin now. Germany will not deviate from this goal. Otherwise, it will be forced to react to any unilateral action by Israel."
A strong ally of Israel under the shackles of historical guilt for the Holocaust, Berlin is beginning to express increasingly harsh criticism of the Israeli war in Gaza and the situation in the West Bank, while Friedrich Merz's government is being criticized in Germany for continuing to send weapons to Israel.
During his visit to Israel on Friday, Johan Vandeful will hold talks with his Israeli counterpart Gideon Saar, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog.
Already, three countries of the Group of 7 (G7), France, the United Kingdom and Canada, have declared their intention to recognize a Palestinian state in September.
The German Foreign Minister, who will also visit Ramallah, called on the Israeli government to allow access for more humanitarian aid convoys to supply the Gaza Strip.
"Only ground delivery will allow humanitarian supplies to reach the population in sufficient quantities," he said.
Germany yesterday sent two A400M transport aircraft to the West Bank with humanitarian aid for Gaza.
