The barefoot part of the Shvil Israel with Yaron Waksman, co-founder and CEO of @HaGalSheli - an NGO helping thousands of young people, evacuees, trauma survivors surf the waves of life. The German Embassy is a proud supporter. #60Years🇩🇪🇮🇱

On the Shvil with Ofer Waldman, head of @BoellStiftung Israel - a beautiful hike in the Zikhron Ya’akov area. We talked politics and poetry (he was the first to bring a poem!). #60Years🇩🇪🇮🇱

The German Foreign Minister @AussenMinDE spoke to his Israeli counterpart about the catastrophic humanitarian situation and Israel‘s expansion of military offensive in Gaza. Israel needs to implement its agreement with the EU to facilitate aid.

Germany will continue to support the @WFP vital efforts to help the suffering Gazans - against all obstacles.

Solidarity with Arab Israeli MK @AyOdeh after thugs attacked his car apparently chanting racist slogans. Violence against democratic lawmakers is unacceptable.

GAZA Cardinal Pizzaballa prays the Rosary with Catholic children in Holy Family Church today

Alon Ohel, Gali and Ziv Berman, Itay Chen, Rom Braslavski, Tamir Adar, Tamir Nimrodi - our fellow Germans among the hostages. Hamas must release them all now. Make a deal to #BringThemHomeNow and end the war! #shabbatshalom

🇩🇪Foreign Minister strongly condemns the horrendous violence against the Druze in Syria. It is the Syrian government‘s duty to protect its citizens. All sides, in Syria and outside must now refrain from actions that endanger the country’s stability and transition process.

In Tira at the invitation of the mayor: fascinating to hear about the specific challenges of this Arab town (where so many have studied at German universities!). Moving to see the photos of the children killed in Gaza outside City Hall. @omdimbeyachad

On the Shvil with an Israeli hero: on Oct 7 Noam Tibon saved his family and several others from Nahal Oz. We went back to where it all started that day - the beach north of Tel Aviv - and spoke about his activism. #60Years🇩🇪🇮🇱

I hope it will be investigated who fired these shots. But everybody with a sense of decency knows: if these are the conditions under which desperate people queue for their food rations, then the system is not right. The GHF and those behind it have got to protect the Gazans.

Chancellor Merz: I have been criticising for many weeks what the Israeli army does in Gaza and I told the PM so. The Palestinians are entitled to their place to live. I hope that Europe and the US can achieve a solution which will then become a 2-state-solution.

We condemn the recent arson attack by violent settlers on the ancient church of #Taybeh in the #Westbank. The recurring attacks threaten lives & livelihoods. Palestinians must be protected from settler violence, incidents must be investigated & those responsible held accountable.

This can be an important step forward to alleviate the disastrous humanitarian situation in Gaza. Good that Europeans kept calling for improvement, good that Israel now agrees to act.

„A sign of trust into a new Germany which has learned from its past“ - giving (back) German citizenship to Holocaust survivors like Zeev Davidovitz and their families is always a beautiful and moving act. Welcome, fellow Germans!

We are proud to support @theCC07 in their work to build an archive documenting the atrocities committed against women, children and families by Hamas on the 7th of October. These facts are essential for the judicial process as well as for the world to remember. @CochavElkayam

I support my colleague from Ramallah: Extremist settler violence is not only reprehensible when they target IDF reservists. They harass and attack Palestinian communities regularly and this needs to be stopped.
