Babler Criticizes Israeli Government

Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler (SPÖ) criticized the Israeli government on the platform X and called on the international community to "no longer look away" from the Middle East conflict. He advocated "for an immediate, complete, and secure humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip, so that the supply of essential goods to the civilian population can be ensured and the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip can be ended," Babler wrote on Wednesday.

"At the same time, all diplomatic efforts must be directed towards supporting an immediate permanent ceasefire and reaffirming a two-state solution as the goal," the Vice Chancellor continued.

Babler referred to Merz's post

Babler also referred in his post to recent statements by the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Merz had said that he recently saw no connection between the Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip and the legitimate struggle for the Jewish state's right to exist. Babler wanted to join this criticism "in solidarity with the Israeli population."
