A day after the operation, French President Macron called for an arms embargo on Israel and again called for a halt to the fighting in Gaza, another European country is joining the attack against Israel, this time it is the German Foreign Ministry that sharply criticized Israel's conduct in the war. The ministry expressed concern over the high number of civilians killed, it claimed, in the Israeli attack in Tulkarm - this despite Israeli and Palestinian publications according to which more than half of the dead are terrorists, as published by Ynet.
18 people were killed in that attack, most of whom were terrorists, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs published on its official account on the X network that "the high number of civilians killed in the Israeli shelling in Tulkarm - is shocking."
According to the ministry, "In its war on terror, the Israeli army is obligated to protect the lives of civilians in the West Bank. Both Israelis and Palestinians have the right to live in security." The Israeli embassy in Berlin decided not to remain silent and responded firmly: "At least 12 terrorists from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, including senior members of the organizations, were killed in action," the embassy wrote in response. "What is really shocking and disturbing is that there are people who tweet accusations without any context, or maybe they simply do not consider the security of the citizens of Israel as something that is important enough?"
