Germany's Scholz calls on Israel to obey international law

Feb 18, 2024

Munich [Germany], February 18: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made an usually direct call for Israel to comply with international humanitarian law, in view of a planned ground offensive against the packed city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
"Obeying international law and the rules is something which is not just something we do because we subscribed some agreements globally. It is something which is coming out of our perspective of human kind and how we want to be and how we want to see ourselves," Scholz said at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
Scholz also reiterated Germany's demand that Israel move toward a two-state solution that would include recognizing an independent Palestinian state existing peacefully alongside Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has firmly rejected that possibility.
