**Dispute at meeting in Israel
Baerbock and Netanyahu clash violently**
*“We are not like the Nazis“: During Foreign Minister Baerbock’s visit to Israel, a heated argument is said to have broken out behind closed doors with Prime Minister Netanyahu. This was triggered by images from the Gaza Strip.*
According to Israeli news channel Channel 13, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a heated argument over footage from the Gaza Strip that Netanyahu had shown during the meeting in Jerusalem.
The footage allegedly showed that there was enough food in the markets in the Gaza Strip. The prime minister apparently wanted to use the footage to prove that the conditions in the sealed-off coastal strip were not so dramatic. The Green politician then pointed out the hunger of the people in the coastal region and offered to show Netanyahu pictures of starving children on her mobile phone. She had expressed clear criticism, according to Channel 13.
**People on the beach**
Like almost all of Israel’s international partners, the Foreign Minister has been appealing for weeks for Netanyahu’s government to allow more aid supplies into the Gaza Strip, as there is a threat of famine there due to Israel’s closure of the area. According to the World Food Programme (WFP), the rate of food trucks entering the Gaza Strip in March and April was only half as high as in January.
According to Channel 13, Netanyahu is said to have advised Baerbock that she should look at photos of the markets and also of people on the beach, as there were no cases of hunger there. According to the report, Baerbock asked him not to show the pictures as they did not correspond to the reality in the Gaza Strip.
Israel’s head of government, in turn, is said to have loudly replied that the photos were real and that Israel was not showing an invented reality like the Nazis. “We are not like the Nazis,” the head of government is said to have said verbatim. In 1942, for example, the Nazis had a film crew shoot a propaganda film with scenes of everyday life in the Warsaw ghetto. Baerbock is said to have then asked Netanyahu whether he wanted to say that doctors in the Gaza Strip and the international media, for example, were not reporting the truth.

The photos of the market stalls filled with fruit and vegetables were published a few days ago by the Israeli Cogat authority, which is responsible for contacts with the Palestinians and humanitarian aid. They show markets in the north of the coastal region, which is particularly affected by food shortages. According to aid organisations and Cogat, some aid has recently arrived there.
The report by Channel 13, the second largest private news channel in Israel, caused quite a stir shortly after it was published. In particular, the sentence that Israel does not act “like the Nazis” ensured that German media such as “Bild” also picked up on the anecdote from the confidential conversation. The course of the conversation was confirmed to the newspaper.
The Federal Foreign Office, however, was ambiguous. The German ambassador Steffen Seibert, who was the spokesperson for Angela Merkel’s German government for many years before taking up his post in Israel, posted a message on Platform X . According to the report, key points in the report were false and misleading.
It doesn’t sound like a denial. During his time as government spokesman, Seibert attempted to minimise politically sensitive revelations with similar phrases. Later, it often turned out that only rather unimportant details in the reports were incorrect, but the basic line was correct.
According to SPIEGEL information, the German side actually only criticises some aspects of the Channel 13 report. For example, Baerbock did not accuse her host of faking the images of crowded markets in the Gaza Strip; they simply did not reflect the reality in large parts of the area.
Similarly, he said, she had not stated that all two million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip were suffering from hunger. Apart from these details, however, the account of the dispute is probably largely accurate.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu regularly uses drastic depictions at political meetings. It is not unusual for it to show videos or charts to support its arguments. It is not clear exactly which images from the Gaza Strip he showed Baerbock. However, images to this effect have been circulating on social media for weeks. Some are quite clearly recognisable as misleading, as they show scenes from the time before the Israeli military operation against the terrorist militia Hamas. For others, however, the situation is not so clear.
The images of Palestinians bathing on the beach at Deir al-Balah in the centre of the Gaza Strip, which Netanyahu spoke of during his meeting with Baerbock, recently spread online and in the Israeli media. Eyewitnesses told the German Press Agency that they were cooling off in the sea in view of the current high temperatures and also showering there due to the lack of water.
Nobody in Berlin is currently able to estimate the consequences of the dispute between Baerbock and Netanyahu for German-Israeli relations. Ambassador Seibert is said to have sought dialogue with the Israeli government immediately after the dispute.
Iran’s Population – 90 Million.
Israel Population – 9 million.
Can someone remind Bibi he is not in charge in the Middle East.
Ben pulls a strange number.
Wochenschau back in the early 40s also pushed films out showing how well the people in the Warsaw Ghetto are doing……
what’s the chance for the next Israeli elections to send home clowns like Netanyahu, Smotrich and Ben Gvir?
Good time to take a step or two back from Israel support, with Netanyahu hell-bent on escalation.
Not the least to save his own skin.
Not gonna happen of course, with german politicians.
As we say in germany, “getroffene Hunde bellen”, or to translate it literally, a hit dog barks. The fact that he made the comparison only to deny it, despite Baerbock not even so much hinting at it, means that this comparison was A, fresh on his mind, and B, he realises very much so the parallels in what theyre doing. Granted, id have made the comparison of a Potemkin village given the whole man-made famine aspect, but still, in a normal government this would raise alarm flags across the board. Sadly, our government is just useless.

Congratulations to Ms. Baerbock for showing the truth.💖💖💖
Israel will kill us all for a finish up
What if Baerbock is attempting to save herself with this PR stunt, assuming that Netanyahu might be prosecuted for acts of genocide, and that she might be complicit?
