Belgium's minister for Development Cooperation criticised Germany's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Wednesday. "It is a crucial question for our German friends: are you really going to be on the wrong side of history twice?" she said in an interview.

In an interview with Knack magazine, Caroline Gennez took issue with Germany's stance on the conflict within the EU, saying the country hardly tolerates criticism of Israel.

"I have always admired Germany for its ability to look its own war past in the eye," she said. "So it is hard to understand why this same Germany should be so taken in by this Israeli government, which is pursuing a shameless policy of colonisation," Gennez said.
