German Foreign Minister Analena Berbock announced 19 million euros in additional aid to Gaza, and criticized parts of the Israeli government for actions she said undermine the country’s long-term security.
Berbok is visiting Jerusalem as part of efforts to prevent the war between Israel and Hamas from escalating into a regional conflict.
“The increasing violence among settlers is spreading fear and terror in the West Bank and digging ever deeper trenches of hatred,” she said.
She added that parts of the Israeli government coalition are causing problems and threatening Israel’s long-term security interests with their aggressive policies.
