An investigation into Israel’s killing of paramedics in southern Gaza last month must be carried out independently, Al Jazeera reports quoting German Federal Government Commissioner for Human Rights Policy and Humanitarian Assistance Luise Amtsberg.

“This alleged violation of international law must not go unpunished,” Amtsberg said in a message on social media platform Bluesky. “The investigation must be carried out quickly and independently, and the perpetrators must be brought to justice as soon as possible. The Israeli government and judiciary have a duty here,” she said.

Israel’s distortion of the event is “once again” straining ties between Germany and Israel, she added.
