Germany's Merz condemns far-right Israeli minister's Gaza remarks: Spokesman

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Wednesday condemned remarks by Israel's far-right national security minister that Israel should kill 30 to 40 people every night in Gaza, a government spokesman said.

"The chancellor strongly condemns the inhumane appeals made by Minister (Itamar) Ben Gvir, which violate international law," spokesman Sebastian Hille said. "They are unacceptable."
