BERLIN – German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Saturday Israel’s military offensive in Gaza was breaking international law.
“The famine, the suffering of the Palestinian population and the attacks in the Gaza Strip are, as we are now seeing in court, incompatible with international law,” Habeck said, in reference to a ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) calling on Israel to end its offensive in Rafah.
“Israel must not carry out this attack, at least not in the way it did in the Gaza Strip before, bombing refugee camps and so on,” Habeck added.
