German foreign minister, in Israel, says humanitarian crisis must be contained

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Saturday in Tel Aviv that the international community should focus on limiting the impact of military operations in Gaza on the civilian population. "All states, regardless of where their allegiance is, that are willing to help ensure that human suffering is contained should cooperate, even if they have to put up with opposition," she said at a press conference on the second day of a Middle East trip after meeting her Israeli counterpart, Eli Cohen. "That's what I proposed in the Gulf, in the West Bank and today in Israel and that's what I will also take to Brussels (European Union foreign ministers)," she said.
