The UN's call for aid in Gaza has garnered support from Germany's SPD, yet drawn skepticism from the FDP and CDU/CSU. The SPD, led by Nils Schmid, praises the UN SC's emphasis on humanitarian aid and ceasefire, aiming for hostage release.

On the other hand, the FDP, represented by Ulrich Lechte, while acknowledging the need for aid delivery, highlights Israel's justified concern in checking goods' entry due to security reasons. The FDP also criticizes the UN's perceived indifference towards Jerusalem – a sentiment shared by its closest allies, Germany and the USA.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock urges Arab nations to unite against Hamas terror, ensuring Israel's security and seeking an end to the Palestinians' suffering. She pushes for disarmament of Hamas, ceasefire, and an end to civilian exploitation as human shields.

Meanwhile, the CDU/CSU's Roderich Kiesewetter accuses the UN of omitting Hamas' obstruction of aid delivery and unilaterally attributing blame to Israel. He raises concerns about perpetrator-victim reversal in the resolution.
