| [IsraelTimes] The German government says it has evacuated a group of 24 Germans and their close family members from the war-battered Gaza Strip. “After months of being stuck in Gaza, a group of 24 Germans and their family members were able to leave Gaza today in close coordination with the Israeli authorities,” a spokeswoman for the German foreign ministry says. Nine members of the group are understood to be German citizens, while the rest are Palestinian family members. The group was taken by bus through Israel and the West Bank to Jordan, where they will take a flight to Germany, the spokeswoman says. Foreign ministry spokesman Christian Wagner earlier told journalists that “roughly two dozen” Germans were leaving the territory. Today’s evacuation is the third carried out by Germany since the closure of the Rafah border crossing in May 2024. In total, the German government has enabled almost 700 Germans and their family members to leave Gaza since October 7, 2023. |
