German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is set to travel to Israel on Friday, the Federal Foreign Office said. 

On Thursday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned Hamas' terror attacks in a speech at the Bundestag, the German parliament.

He said: "We condemn the terrorists and we say very clearly, Israel has the right under international law to defend its citizens against such acts of barbarism." 

Hamas is considered a terror group by the US, EU, Israel and Germany, among others.

World leaders have forcefully condemned Hamas' terror attacks over the weekend, with a string of top diplomats, including US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, having arrived in Tel Aviv to show support for Israel in recent days.
