"Aid for people in Gaza must begin quickly, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said in Paris on Thursday. 'We are ready to provide humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip immediately,' he said at the hastily convened conference of several foreign ministers from European and Arab states. Action must be taken swiftly because 'thousands of people are still under threat there.'"
"Wadephul: Israel must be involved Israel must not be absent from such a conference, unlike in Paris, he added. Wadephul also called for a United Nations mandate for further development: 'We need a legal framework for everything that is now taking place in the Gaza Strip,' he said. However, it remains to be seen whether such far-reaching plans will find favor with the main negotiators the Israelis, Palestinians and Americans."
Aid for people in Gaza must begin quickly. Germany is ready to provide humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip immediately. Thousands of people in Gaza remain under threat, requiring swift action. A proposal envisions a reconstruction conference organized together with Egypt that would be politically broader, outline the political framework for the Gaza Strip, and keep a two-state solution in mind. Israel must be involved in such a conference. A United Nations mandate is sought to provide a legal framework for reconstruction and development activities in Gaza. Political agreement from Israelis, Palestinians and Americans remains uncertain.
