Germany Puts Israel on Time-Out, Gaza Gets New Reality Show
Germany just threw Israel a partial arms embargo like a disapproving parent grounding a rebellious teenager. Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared, 'the Israeli government bears even greater responsibility' after approving a Gaza City occupation plan that 'makes it increasingly difficult to see' peace talks. Meanwhile, Israel's Security Cabinet insists on expansion despite the IDF Chief's warnings, and even Trump's sitting this one out. Europe's offside now too, with the Dutch foreign minister saying, 'We stand with Israel, but not with the policy.' Looks like Netanyahu's fan club just got a little less popular.

Germany slapped Israel with a partial arms embargo while everyone else awkwardly claps in the background. It’s like watching your dad refuse to buy beer for your wild cousin’s party—‘Sure, we support you... just not *that* mess.’
Israel’s Security Cabinet vs. IDF Chief of Staff is the new reality drama we didn’t ask for: 'Go big or regret living,' says Netanyahu. Meanwhile, Europe’s like, 'Nah, we’re just here for the popcorn.'
If international alliances were high school cliques, Germany just ghosted Israel and Europe’s quietly updating their exposure status. Someone call the EU matchmaking service, this breakup’s getting nasty.
