Germany to review aid to Palestinians
After the Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel on Sunday, the German government declared that it was reevaluating its hundreds of millions of euros in funding for the Palestinians.
Svenja Schulze, the minister of development, claimed that the government has always taken care to ensure that the funds were exclusively utilized for peaceful purposes. But she said that these assaults on Israel “mark a terrible fracture.” “We will now evaluate the entirety of our commitment to the Palestinian territories.”
The minister for German chancellor Olaf Scholz’s center-left cabinet said Germany will work with foreign partners and talk with Israel about how development projects in the region may be best served.
Some German legislators, particularly those from the opposition conservative party, demanded a stop to the aid.
“All of Europe, all 27 states, must now say: we need a new start and we will no longer finance terrorists,” said Armin Laschet, the conservatives’ candidate for chancellor at the last federal election, calling for an end to EU cooperation with the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, who is based in the West Bank.
Gregor Gysi, a prominent member of the opposition Left party, argued against such a move, saying Hamas and not all Palestinians, were responsible for the hamas attack.
