Germany updates: New drone research center to be opened

Two weeks after a drone security breach at Leipzig airport, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt is set to open a new drone research center. Meanwhile, an historic aquarium is set to reopen in Berlin. DW has more.

German Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil criticized Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for his recent calls for the targeted killing of Palestinians, stating that such attitudes are "inhumane" and that Europe must consider sanctions against Ben-Gvir. Ben-Gvir had suggested that many Palestinians in Gaza don't deserve to live and that Israeli forces should remove 30-40 Palestinians from Gaza each night.

Klingbeil called on Germany's government to speak out clearly against these remarks, which only escalate tensions in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank.
