Who is Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff, facing flak for paragliding in Gaza?

Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff is a German diplomat who formerly served as the European Union envoy to Gaza. He has recently come under intense scrutiny and criticism in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war due to a controversial incident that took place a few months before the conflict escalated. The video of von Burgsdorff paragliding over Gaza resurfaced amidst the conflict, drawing significant attention and criticism. Israel’s foreign ministry labeled the act as “provocative” propaganda. However, von Burgsdorff faced criticism for not condemning Hamas’ attack on Israel.
