The German government has criticized the ongoing humanitarian situation in Gaza, stating that the current level of aid entering the territory remains 'very insufficient' despite some recent improvements. This follows a visit to the region by Germany's foreign minister and the country's first food airdrops into Gaza, where millions are at risk of starvation. Berlin, traditionally a strong supporter of Israel, has expressed concern over reports that both Hamas and criminal organizations are withholding aid, while also noting accusations that Israeli forces have allowed criminal networks to plunder deliveries. The German government is now considering options to increase pressure on Israel, including a possible partial suspension of arms deliveries, as international agencies warn that the volume of aid remains dangerously low. Meanwhile, indirect negotiations for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel have stalled, and Hamas maintains it will not disarm without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
