Germany says Israel stance unchanged after Qatar strike

Germany’s government says a violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is unacceptable, but Israel’s strike targeting Hamas officials in Doha does not change Berlin’s position toward the country.

“You know our basic stance on the Israeli state, and nothing has changed,” a government spokesperson tells journalists during a regular press conference.

When asked about the European Commission’s proposal to suspend trade-related measures in an EU agreement with Israel, the spokesperson says there has not yet been a majority for these proposed measures in the European Council.
