# Germany’s foreign minister Johann Wadephul says that Israel was increasingly isolated diplomatically over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In a statement before heading to Israel, he said that the recent UN conference on a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict showed that “Israel is finding itself increasingly in the minority”. Germany is one of Israel’s staunchest diplomatic allies but Wadephul noted that in view of the open threats of annexation by some in the Israeli government, a growing number of European countries are ready to recognise a state of Palestine.
