This is the best summary I could come up with:
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Tuesday that it was “absurd” for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to accuse Israel of fascism.
Scholz said Israel is a democracy and “a country that is bound to human rights and international law and acts accordingly.”
According to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, the death toll due to the current conflict has passed 11,240.
Israel has rejected such accusations in the past and has said it is targeting Hamas, which it says operates bases in tunnels underneath civilian infrastructure like hospitals.
On Tuesday, Scholz reiterated that he considered Hamas to be a terror organization and that he would continue to emphasize this point.
Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany’s opposition center-right Christian Democratic Union, supported Scholz’s decision not to cancel the talks.
