Merz: Israel's treatment of civilian population in Gaza 'can no longer be justified as a fight against Hamas terrorism'
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday that Israel’s recent attacks on Gaza are taking a humanitarian toll on civilians that can no longer be justified as a fight against terrorism.


So, what will he do about it?:
