Wow: Merz casually starting diplomatic fires while chatting to school kids? DPA — Germany's Merz says US "humiliated" by Iran: "The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected and the Americans clearly have no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations either." (per DPA).

whenever you tell someone at a party you’re a journalist and they clamor to clarify that they’re “off the record” it’s like. you just told me a story about your cat throwing up after eating funfetti cake batter. should we call the new york times? should we invite bella hadid ?

Germany's conservatives are in turmoil after Foreign Minister Wadephul suggested Syria was not ready for the return of refugees, contradicting comments by Chancellor Merz. In this #BerlinBriefing, @DanielThym, @ayakibrahim and @MKuefner join @NinaHaase. youtube.com/watch?v=G2AoOEYa…

1. This is where our attempt to enter the city of Suwayda, in southern Syria, comes to an end. The city has been the site of violent sectarian clashes between Sunni bedouins and Druze militias. Government authorities have also been accused of attacking civilians. Hundreds of people have killed and tens of thousands displaced. @dwnews

2. Government forces have built barricades on the road leading to central Suwayda, they say to prevent Bedouin fighters from entering the predominantly Druze city.

Europe's rights chief has raised concerns with the German government that its handling of pro-Palestinian protests are affecting freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Michael O'Flaherty also called out "reports of excessive use of force by police against protesters".

An embargo on German weapons for Israel is "overdue," Middle East expert Rene Wildangel tells @dwnews. The new wave of criticism by German politicians must be followed by action, he argues. A majority of Germans oppose new arms exports to Israel, a recent poll shows.

Breaking: Merz says Israel’s actions in Gaza "can no longer be justified". Historic 1st criticism. Merz even sees breach of international law: "When lines are crossed, where now international humanitarian law is being broken, even Germany‘s Chancellor must speak up" @republica

Starving civilians by "depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including willfully impeding relief supplies" is a war crime. The ICC had reasons to believe Israel had used "starvation as a method of warfare" when issuing the arrest warrant against Netanyahu.
