GAZA: The German government is concerned about Israeli plans to take more of Gaza, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Friday, adding that Germany opposes a permanent division of the Palestinian territory.

Comments mark a shift in Berlin’s stance towards one of its key allies, of which it has long been a strong supporter.
