Foreign Minister Gideon Saar met with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadfull, stating in their joint press conference that 'Hamas alone is responsible for the war and its continuation. The Hamas terror state must cease to exist. If not, Hamas will continue to be a nightmare - for Israel's security and the stability of the entire region.' Wadfull responded: 'It is clear that Gaza is part of Palestinian territory. The conflict in Gaza cannot be resolved through military means, a political solution must be at the center.'
