US_ Tammy Bruce Says Palestinian Statehood Is _Unproductive_ as Merz Slams Israel _ Gaza _ APT

Tensions are rising across Western capitals over the war in Gaza.

In a press briefing in Washington, U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state is “unproductive” and could undermine peace efforts. She emphasized that Hamas remains responsible for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Meanwhile, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz sharply criticized Israel’s military campaign, saying he can no longer understand its goals. Germany’s Foreign Minister went further, warning Berlin might restrict weapon exports to Israel if violations of international humanitarian law are suspected.

This growing divergence between U.S. and German positions reveals deepening global divides over Israel’s actions and the path to a future peace.
