German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has urged Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to clearly condemn the Hamas attacks on Israel, calling his silence so far “shameful.” In a speech to the German parliament, Scholz also pledged his support for Israel, saying Germany’s “only place” right now is at Israel’s side. He said Israel must have the capacity to defend itself, adding that the terrorist group Hamas offers only poverty and misery for the Palestinian people in Gaza.
