Palestinians blast German FM for claiming Israel has ‘right to kill civilians’
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said civilian sites in Gaza lose protected status because ‘terrorists abuse it’ | The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement released a statement on 16 October strongly condemning comments made by Germany’s foreign minister in defense of Israel’s killing of Palestinian civilians.
💬 “These statements represent a dangerous justification for targeting civilian sites under the pretext of the presence of armed elements in these sites, cover up the crimes of the occupation that targets civilians, and provide an immoral justification for indiscriminate attacks,” PIJ said.
The statement goes on to say that civilian infrastructure must never lose its protected status, regardless of what Israel claims.
