The conflict in Gaza cannot be solved with military means, and a political solution should be at the centre, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said in Jerusalem, Reuters reports.

He said that Germany would do whatever it takes to guarantee Israel’s security, but this does not mean that his country cannot criticise Israel’s course of action, adding that this “must not lead to antisemitism.”

The new foreign minister also said he is not sure whether military action in Gaza will serve Israel’s security.
