German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Monday he no longer understands the Israeli army’s objective in Gaza amid a stepped-up offensive in the Palestinian territory.

“Honestly speaking, I no longer understand what the Israeli army is now doing in the Gaza Strip, with what goal,” he told public broadcaster WDR.

    The goal in Gaza is incredibly clear, as it always has been.

    Merz is possibly being honest about not understanding it (although I somewhat doubt he’s that naive). If he doesn’t understand it, it is because anyone that tries to talk sense to him, he calls “antisemitism” and tries to deport them.
