Following French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement that they would recognize Palestine as a state, German Government Spokesperson Stefan Kornelius announced that Germany does not plan to recognize the State of Palestine in the short term.

"ISRAEL'S SECURITY IS A PRIORITY FOR US"

Kornelius stated in a written statement regarding the situation in the Middle East that only a negotiated two-state solution can provide lasting peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. He noted that the German Government believes recognizing Palestine would be one of the final steps towards a two-state solution, saying, "Israel's security is a priority for us. Therefore, we do not plan to recognize the State of Palestine in the short term."

Two European countries have fallen out over Palestine

"THERE IS A NEED FOR AN URGENT CEASEFIRE IN GAZA"

Kornelius stated that their priorities are to achieve an urgent ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages. Emphasizing that Hamas must be disarmed, the spokesperson expressed that Israel needs to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza and deliver necessary aid to civilians. He pointed out that a sustainable political perspective is necessary for a temporary ceasefire to turn into lasting peace, and that steps towards the annexation of the West Bank must also be halted.

"WE ARE READY TO INCREASE PRESSURE"

Kornelius stated that Germany is in constant contact with the Israeli government and international partners, saying, "If no progress is made regarding Gaza, we are ready to increase pressure." He expressed that they support the creation of the necessary conditions for Palestine's statehood, and that the support provided to the Palestinian administration is part of this framework.
