Germany Denounces US Ambassador’s Remarks on Israel’s Territorial Claims
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Kathrin Deschauer clarified Germany’s position during a press briefing in Berlin, saying: “The West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem are the starting point for the future Palestinian state, and that is the basis from which we proceed.”
Arab countries condemned Huckabee’s remarks as “absurd and provocative,” unacceptable, and contrary to international law, since the comments effectively endorse Israeli control over the entire Middle East, including the occupied West Bank.
Deschauer emphasized, “That is our position, and it is also the position that offers the best opportunity for peaceful coexistence with a view to a two-state solution.”
Berlin reaffirmed its long-standing opposition to Israeli settlement expansion, noting that such actions strengthen the occupation rather than promote peace. The German government has repeatedly stated that settlement growth undermines the prospects for a negotiated two-state solution and violates international legal obligations, including rulings by the International Court of Justice.
