"Air aid for Gaza has already taken place last year, and Germany has besides taken part," writes the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung".
Nevertheless, it is only 1 of the 3 best solutions; it is better than a deficiency of supply, but worse than land transport, more efficient and little risky for the population.

"The best solution would be a ceasefire, so all German and EU diplomatic efforts should focus on this objective," the commentator says. He adds, "There is inactive a lot to do, Europe has left the issue to the Americans besides long."
The debates on sanctions in Brussels will meet the interior political needs of any associate States, but are not a solution. If at all, they will have a marginal impact on Israel. Beniamin Netanyahu can trust on the military strength of his own country and fundamentally on Trump's support. In fact, Germany can harm itself in this matter, due to the fact that the country is more dependent on Israeli weapons than Israel is on German weapons – just remember Russia.
"For many debaters in Europe this may be hard to accept, but this is the reality: a course in the Gaza Strip (and the West Bank) will be decided primarily by public debate and elections in Israel, most likely again next year," we read.
"Junge Welt" from Berlin states: "Germany, which with its unconditional political support and arms export contributed to Israeli genocide, is now boasting about organizing air transport with Jordan. To end the auto-inscension on the back of starving Palestinians, Friedrich Merz accepted a Jordanian king in Berlin on Tuesday. The fact that experts at the same time issued a informing that the 'worst script of famine' was developing in Gaza has played as small a function as the fact that air aid is nothing more than a drop in the sea of needs and is dangerous. But individual who has to cover up the criminal consequences of a dirty occupation commissioned to 'partners' can't afford besides much accuracy."
The regional diary "Lausitzer Rundschau" from Cottbus comments: "In the face of disastrous circumstances in the Gaza Strip, the point is not to do anything. It's about doing the right thing. This would be to persuade Israel to yet let unchangeable supplies by land. 1 truck can carry multiple times more cargo than an aircraft adapted to its drop. Merz himself admitted that air transport can only bring 'very small help'. Therefore, it is the thought that this action is primarily an expression of its own helplessness and a kind of public reproof to Israel."
