The official said Hamas has "taken the entire population" of Gaza hostage, where Israel is planning a large-scale ground military operation.

"Hamas is now barricading itself behind more innocent people and is using them as a shield in Gaza. Their tunnels, their weapons depots and command centres are deliberately located in residential buildings, supermarkets and universities. Maybe even in hospitals," Baerbock said.

Background: Earlier, German politicians sharply criticised the demonstrations in Berlin, whose participants rejoiced at the attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a ban on supporting the activities of the Hamas terrorist organisation in the country.
