Germany's Tone Shifts: Criticism of Israel's Gaza Actions Intensifies

Germany is starting to speak out more strongly against Israel's actions in Gaza.

The German leader, Merz, is saying he doesn't understand what Israel is trying to achieve and is worried they may be breaking the rules of war.

Other countries like France and the UK might punish Israel too.

Even though there's criticism, Germany is choosing to keep talking to Israel to try and influence them, rather than cutting ties completely.

Some people want Germany to stop selling weapons to Israel because of what's happening in Gaza.

Germany sold a lot of weapons last year, and there's a debate about whether to keep doing it.
