While many countries have expressed similar concerns, the warning was unusually stark for the German leader, who has continuously underscored Israel's right to defend itself after Hamas' Oct. 7 assault on the country that killed 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies.

"The more desperate the situation of the people in Gaza becomes, the more this begs the question: No matter how important the goal can it justify such terribly high costs, or are there other ways to achieve your goal?" Scholz said at a joint appearance with Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

The link I gave you is an offical government link from the UK government showing a joined declaration of Germany and the UK calling for a 'sustainable ceasefire'. Germany has furthermore signed a common EU declaration calling for "an immediate humanitarian pause that could lead to a sustainable ceasefire"

The difference is the wording "sustainable" and not "immediate".

So please actually READ the links I post and not just call me wrong. It really helps...
