Germany says that civilian deaths in the Gaza Strip were “extremely worrying” as Israel’s military presses a renewed assault on Hamas in the Palestinian territory.
“It is now very clear that we must quickly return to negotiations and to the ceasefire that was in place,” foreign ministry spokesman Christian Wagner says in Berlin.
Israel renewed the operation in Gaza on Tuesday after an impasse over continuing a ceasefire.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said Monday that the ongoing offensive against Hamas was “expanding,” vowing that Israel would continue its strikes until the 59 hostages still held by terrorists in Gaza are released.
