Denmark considers damages from Israel

The Danish Foreign Ministry is considering demanding damages from Israel for 
Danish projects in Gaza that have been destroyed.

 
As Israeli operations in Gaza continue, the Danish Foreign Ministry is 
investigating whether it can sue Israel for damage caused to Danish projects in 
Gaza, according to Berlingske Tidende. 

Initially, Minister Ulla Tørnæs has asked her officials to find out if there is 
any way that Israel can be made to pay. 

"We are investigating whether there are any international precedents. But the 
ministry's legal officers have already told me that it is a very complicated 
issue," says Tørnæs. 

Unacceptable
"But I would like to make it clear that we are very much aware of the damages 
that have been caused to projects that are supported and partially financed by 
Denmark. Their destruction is unacceptable - something the ministry has made 
clear to the Israeli ambassador," Tørnæs says. 

The projects concerned are predominantly mobile health clinics.
