Germany denounced the statements of the Israeli Ministers of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, and the Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, regarding the displacement of Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip.

German Foreign Ministry spokesman Sebastian Fischer said: “Such statements do not help solve the problem, and we strongly reject Ben Gvir and Smotrich’s statements.”

He explained that the position on this issue was clarified during the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Tokyo, and that forced removal from Gaza and reducing the area of the Strip should also be out of the question.

He pointed out that Germany continues to support the two-state solution, which “remains the only permanent model for peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians,” and that it has been working in this regard for a long time.

Fisher called for increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza, noting that progress had been made by opening the Kerem Shalom crossing.

In recent weeks, calls have escalated in Israel to deport Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, which faces widespread regional and international rejection.

On Monday, the Israeli Ministers of National Security and Finance, Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, announced their support for the “voluntary displacement of Palestinians” from the Gaza Strip, to which Hamas responded in a statement, stressing that the statements of Israeli leaders about the displacement of the residents of the Gaza Strip are “just dreams.” An unenforceable vigilance,” and called on the international community to “intervene to confront it.”

Since last October 7, the Israeli occupation army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, which as of Tuesday left 22,185 dead and 57,35 injured, most of them children and women, massive destruction of infrastructure and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to the Gaza Strip authorities and the United Nations.
