No anomalies in Germany’s aid to Palestinians, Foreign Ministry says

Germany’s Foreign Ministry has scrutinised humanitarian aid payments to the Palestinian territories and has not detected any misuse, the ministry said on Saturday after a review prompted by the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.
Europe is one of the main sources of aid to the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories where the United Nations estimates that around 2.1 million people need humanitarian assistance, among them 1 million children.
The German announcement of the aid review had sparked a mixed reaction at home and elsewhere, with critics saying the Palestinian people were not responsible for the Hamas attacks.
Berlin, which has pledged its unwavering support for Israel, says Israeli security is its “reason of state” due its responsibility for the Holocaust, in which about six million Jews were killed in Nazi Germany.
“The review of humanitarian aid for the Palestinians has been completed and there have been no anomalies regarding possible indirect aid for terrorist organisations,” the foreign ministry said.
