Germany tosses crumbs at Gaza while arming Israel and Ukraine to the teeth
On September 5, 2024, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock held a press conference in Amman with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi.
During the press conference, Al-Safadi pressed Germany to impose sanctions on Israel. Baerbock responded by announcing a €50 million increase in German aid to Gaza, resulting in total German aid of about €360 million since last year. This sum is a minute fraction of the €34 billion in military, economic and humanitarian aid that Germany has provided to Ukraine since 2022. In addition, Germany continues to be one of Israel’s largest suppliers of military equipment.
On September 12, Dimitri Lascaris discussed these developments with Elijah Magnier. Magnier is a veteran war correspondent and political analyst with over 35 years of experience covering decades of war in the Middle East and North Africa. He has strong relationships with key players and has acquired in-depth experience, extensive contacts, and solid knowledge of the complex political situations in West Asia.
Magnier and Lascaris also discussed the escalation of the war between Israel and Lebanon’s Islamic Resistance, as well as recent accusations by the Biden administration that Iran has supplied ballistic missiles to Russia.
