"Germany is under increasing pressure from several directions,"
""Staatsraeson""
""apartheid state""
""never again""
Germany's longstanding post-World War II support for Israel is under strain as pressure grows to join sanctions over the Gaza war while many Western allies recognise a Palestinian state. The October 7 Hamas attack was universally condemned, but criticism has increased that Israel's military response is disproportionate and open-ended. EU deliberations on potential sanctions place Berlin at the center of diplomatic attention, with pressure from EU partners, civil society, and international actors. Historical constraints from Holocaust memory and the 'never again' ethos have shaped German policy, yet prominent figures now question unconditional support and call for recognition of a Palestinian state.
