Berlin: We Will Review Aid Provided to Palestinians After Hamas Attack

The German government announced on Sunday that it will conduct a review of the aid it provides to Palestinians, which amounts to hundreds of millions of euros, following the largest attack on Israel in years orchestrated by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). Development Minister Svenia Schulze stated that the government has always been keen to ensure that the funding is used solely for peaceful purposes. She added, "However, these attacks on Israel have created a significant rift. We will review all of our dealings with the Palestinian territories." She mentioned that her country would discuss with Israel the best ways to support development projects in the region in coordination with international partners. Some members of the German parliament, particularly from the opposing conservative side, have called for the aid to be stopped.
