Germany and Israel mark 60 years of ties as Gaza war casts shadow
""The truth is out about Germany's far-right AfD - now ban the party" Bjoern Höcke, a key figure of the party that won a record 20 percent in February elections, has labelled Berlin's Holocaust remembrance site for six million murdered Jews a "memorial of shame.""
""Sixty years of German-Israeli relations -- we are entering a completely new chapter." This statement highlights the significant changes and challenges facing the relationship between Germany and Israel in recent times."
Berlin's upcoming tour of Israel underlines the importance of the long-standing relationship between the two nations, amid recent strains due to Israel's actions in Gaza post-Hamas attacks. Critics have accused Israel of disproportionate response and violating human rights, while Germany navigates its own political tensions with a rising far-right party, AfD, challenging traditional remembrance of the Holocaust. Former officials warn that the dynamic of German-Israeli relations is changing, emphasizing the complexities involved in maintaining mutual support.
