Germany's Merz sharply criticizes Israel, says EU members will discuss possible sanctions
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Wednesday sharply criticized Israel's violations of international law and aggressive military actions in the region, saying Berlin will await discussions with EU partners on possible sanctions.
Speaking at a joint press conference with EU Council President Antonio Costa in Berlin, Merz once again denounced Israel's airstrikes targeting Hamas’ negotiating team in Qatar's capital Doha, and stressed the important role Qatar has played in ceasefire efforts in Gaza.
