German ambassador to Israel demands ceasefire, release of hostages
Germany's ambassador to Israel on Wednesday called for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages held by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, ahead of a crucial round of peace talks.
At a press conference with the British and US ambassadors in Tel Aviv, Steffen Seibert said there was "no more important duty at the moment" than to achieve the release of the hostages as quickly as possible.
"Their suffering is beyond comprehension," said Seibert, referring to the “horrible reports” from those who have been released so far.
“We also know that some will not return alive,” he added.
The next round of negotiations on ending the conflict in Gaza is due to be held in Doha on Thursday. However, on Wednesday, Hamas said it would not attend the talks.
