Germany, France, UN Condemn Far-Right Israeli Minister's 'Inhumane ...
- On Wednesday, Germany and France condemned Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who declared Israel should kill "30 or 40" people nightly in Gaza, drawing immediate international backlash.
- During a podcast, Ben Gvir argued "targeted eliminations should be carried out in Gaza every night," stating some people "shouldn't be alive," following his public mockery of bound activists in May.
- French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot called the remarks "intolerable and inhumane," while German government spokesman Sebastian Hille stated the government "strongly condemns the inhumane appeals" as violations of international law.
- Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Klingbeil said the comments "must have consequences," discussing potential EU-level sanctions, though unanimous approval from all 27 member states remains a significant hurdle.
- European officials warn that accelerated settlement expansion in the West Bank—home to over 500,000 Israelis and three million Palestinians—jeopardizes a two-state solution and runs counter to international law.
