Germany slams ‘cynical, disturbing’ Israeli sanctions against PA over EU countries recognizing Palestinian state

Germany’s foreign ministry slams the Israeli security cabinet’s decision last night to sanction the Palestinian Authority in response to Ramallah’s support for steps against Jerusalem in international tribunals and for countries unilaterally recognizing a Palestinian state.

  • “We condemn approval of new settlements and legalization of outposts,” says a spokesperson for the German foreign ministry.
  • “Justifying this with the recognition of Palestine by some states is disturbing and cynical.”

  • “The conflict can only be solved with, not against a reformed PA; reject measures to weaken it,” the spokesperson adds.
