Nahost: Äußerung zu Tötungen in Gaza: Klingbeil fordert Konsequenzen
Die Worte eines israelischen Polizeiministers schockieren. Der Aufruf, Palästinenser in Gaza zu töten, sei menschenverachtend, sagt der deutsche Vizekanzler. Was er jetzt fordert.
Vizekanzler Lars Klingbeil expressed disapproval and called for consequences following statements made by an Israeli minister regarding the targeted killings of Palestinians in Gaza. The SPD leader stated that the government could not accept such remarks during a summer interview on the Sat.1 show "newstime." On the European stage, sanctions should now be "seriously considered," he added.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Police Minister, was described as "dehumanizing" in his actions. Klingbeil expressed solidarity with the State of Israel but not with such ministers. He emphasized that figures like Ben-Gvir had crossed a line. "The federal government must clearly condemn this," he stressed. Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right police minister, had previously stated that "gezielte Tötungen in Gaza" should be carried out, removing "30, 40 people" every night.
He referred not only to militant Palestinians posing an immediate threat but also to individuals who did not deserve to live in the Gaza Strip.
