The German government views the recent U.S. Gaza plan as a potential catalyst for the disarmament of Hamas. A spokesperson for the German foreign ministry stated this view during a regular news conference on Monday. This assessment comes despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of the plan, which the ministry spokesperson acknowledged was anticipated given the complexity of the undertaking. The spokesperson indicated that disagreements were likely and that many questions remain unanswered. Germany believes the plan presents an opportunity for progress despite these challenges. The ministry did not elaborate on specific aspects of the plan it found promising, but emphasized its focus on Hamas’s disarmament.
