German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has renewed Berlin's support for Israel while also calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Merz said Germany "stands for the security and existence of Israel," reaffirming a position Berlin has long maintained given the country's historical relationship with Israel.
At the same time, the chancellor said he views a Palestinian state existing alongside Israel as the best path toward peace in the region.
Merz's remarks reflect an effort to balance Germany's longstanding commitment to Israel's security with support for a negotiated two-state resolution to the conflict.
