The criticism came after Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul visited the region on Thursday and Friday and the German military staged its first food airdrops into Gaza, where aid agencies say that more than two million Palestinians are facing starvation.
“Israel remains obligated to ensure the full delivery of aid,“ Kornelius added.
International agencies say the amount of aid entering Gaza is still dangerously low, however.
The German government, traditionally a strong supporter of Israel, also expressed “concern regarding reports that large quantities of humanitarian aid are being withheld by Hamas and criminal organisations”.
The Israeli army is accused of having equipped Palestinian criminal networks in its fight against Hamas and of allowing them to plunder aid deliveries.
A German government source told AFP it had noted that Israel has “considerably” increased the number of aid trucks allowed into Gaza to about 220 a day.
The source said that a German security cabinet meeting on Saturday discussed “the different options” for putting pressure on Israel, but no decision was taken.
Hamas militants launched an attack in Israel on October 7, 2023, that resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.
Israel’s military offensive on Gaza since then has killed at least 60,249 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health ministry. The UN considers the ministry’s figures reliable. - AFP
