German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reaffirmed Germany's support for Israel on the third anniversary of the October 7 attack, emphasising Berlin's commitment to the security of the Israeli state.
Reaffirming the Security Commitment
In his remarks for the occasion, Merz reiterated that Israel's security remains a cornerstone of German foreign policy, in continuity with Berlin's longstanding position of support for Israel spanning decades.
Commitment to a Two-State Solution
At the same time, the German Chancellor reaffirmed his commitment to a two-state solution as the appropriate path toward lasting peace in the region, signalling that, in his view, German support for Israel is not at odds with pursuing a political settlement that includes the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Merz's remarks come amid the continuing international debate over pathways to ending the conflict in the region, three years after the October 7 attack, whose political, security and humanitarian repercussions continue to resonate powerfully on the world stage.
