Sintesi Omnilex

The plaintiff brought a civil claim against the defendant concerning travel affected by Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip. The Bonn Local Court dismissed the claim and ordered the plaintiff to bear the costs of the proceedings. It held that the offensive did not objectively impair travel to neighboring Egypt or Jordan. It also held that hostilities between Israel and Hamas in Gaza were objectively foreseeable for purposes of BGB § 651i(1).

Massima Omnilex

BGB § 651i(1); objective foreseeability of hostilities and impact on travel to neighboring destinations. Hostilities between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip may be objectively foreseeable within the meaning of § 651i(1) BGB. The existence of hostilities in Gaza does not, without more, establish an objective impairment of travel to neighboring areas such as Egypt or Jordan. The assessment of travel impact must concern the relevant destination and cannot be inferred solely from military events in the adjoining territory.
