“I do not think that the request for a ceasefire in Gaza is correct.”

Schulz made statements about the latest situation in Gaza during the event organized by the Heilbronner Shtime newspaper.

Referring to calls for a ceasefire from the Arab and Islamic world, Chancellor Schulz said: “I do not think it is right to demand an immediate ceasefire or a long ceasefire (in Gaza). Because this means that Israel must allow Hamas to recover.” “It should not be allowed to manufacture missiles and attack them,” he said.

The German Chancellor said that he believes that the two-state solution is still possible, and stressed that there must be a perspective that makes this possible.

“If you want a lasting peace environment, you have to want the possibility of a Palestinian state that does not pose a threat to Israel,” Schulz said.

“I met Putin in the past and I will do so in the future.”

But in this case, you have to talk to him (Putin).” “From time to time, which I have done in the past and will do in the future. As for the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, Russia needs to take a decisive step, and that means withdrawing its forces, and so far it is not ready for that.” do it.”
