This is the best summary I could come up with:
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Thursday delivered a statement on the situation in Israel, following Hamas’ deadly terror attack over the weekend.
More than 1,300 people were killed in the large-scale attacks that saw thousands of rockets fired from Gaza and then hundreds of Hamas militants entering southern Israel.
In a country with 9 million inhabitants, that means that nearly everybody knows one of the victims," Scholz said in a speech at the Bundestag, Germany’s lower house of parliament.
“We condemn the terrorists and we say very clearly, Israel has the right under international law to defend its citizens against such acts of barbarism,” he said.
Scholz said the Hamas attacks had repercussions and said that he had yet to see condemnation from Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas.
“We can’t accept it,” Scholz said, speaking of the antisemitic messages heard at pro-Palestinian demonstrations held in Germany.
