The German government has said that it is prepared to take steps to put pressure on Israel with regards to the humanitarian situation in Gaza, but did not give details on what they could be, Reuters reports.
“The chancellor was very clear in the phone conversation with the Israeli prime minister … that the federal government is prepared to increase the pressure if progress is not made,” a spokesperson said.
“In principle we are prepared to take further steps, which is also the purpose of this afternoon’s security meeting,” he said, referring to a meeting of the German security cabinet.
