President Isaac Herzog Welcomes German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to Israel

President Herzog: “To see Israeli-made Arrow 3 missiles being installed in Germany to defend Germany and Europe is moving and important.”

Chancellor Merz: “It is in our core DNA to stand with Israel.”

President Isaac Herzog welcomed German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to Israel this evening on his first visit to Israel as Chancellor of Germany.

Ahead of their meeting, the two made brief statements to the media.

President Isaac Herzog: “Welcome Herr Kanzler. Thank you very much for visiting us. This is your first visit to Israel as the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, a great friend of Israel. We mark 60 years of relations between Israel and Germany, which bear an incredibly important and moving history and many challenges. We have become very close friends, and for me to see the Arrow 3 missiles being installed in Germany to defend Germany and Europe, Israeli-made products, is something very unique and moving and important.

“You are coming here following the very unique, important, and historic UN Security Council Resolution, which calls for the day after in Gaza and in the region, which was led and crafted by President Trump and his team. It is clear that in order to move to the next stage, we must make sure that Hamas and its capabilities are removed from Gaza and offer a horizon to the region, a new horizon to the region, a new horizon to the people of Gaza and the people of Israel, a new horizon to Israel and its Palestinian neighbors, and Israel and its Arab neighbors. We must work on it together. Germany has a huge role to play, both in Europe and as a very important country in the world, and I'm sure that your meetings will be very productive and successful. As we know, we are facing an empire of evil from Tehran, and that is why the equilibrium in the world is very clear. It's us defending Europe, and it's us working very hard to reach the day after in Gaza. So welcome, Mr. Chancellor.”

Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “Thank you very much, Mr. President, for the invitation and the very warm welcome. I come as a friend, and we've met on numerous occasions before when we were able to hold discussions, but this is the first time I come in my capacity as Federal Chancellor. I come as a longstanding friend of Israel, and I'm delighted to have this first opportunity to be here in my capacity as Federal Chancellor on the first official visit.

“We couldn't meet in more challenging and more complicated times, and you know that Germany firmly stands at Israel's side, especially since the horrific attack perpetrated by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Since then, we were able to deepen and further intensify our friendship, and you know that we will always stand by Israel's side. We still consider this friendship a miracle. So shortly after the Shoah to be able to establish diplomatic relations and further continue to deepen and foster our friendship is very special and important to us indeed.

“Now, the military actions and the government's actions confronted us with a dilemma. We were faced with a dilemma. We had to react to it, but rest assured that we are still on your side. Israel has the right to defend itself and has the right to exist. We stand with Israel in its right to exist, and we support you in your endeavors. We are going to help you as peace and the negotiations enter into a next phase. The war is going to end as soon as Hamas has laid down all its arms, the war will end, and then we will look into the future. We also hope that the situation in the West Bank will continue to evolve in a positive direction so that in the end we will see a two-state solution that we have always advocated for, and the two-state solution is an important factor for good coexistence between Israel and the Palestinians, and the Israeli people, the Palestinian people, and the Arab world, for it to be able to live peacefully in peace and security and in

dignity.

“So thank you very much for this opportunity to be here. It's a pleasure to be here, and I know, as all Federal Chancellors before me, I am fully aware of the responsibility we bear as Germany, as a German Chancellor. It's an honor and a privilege to be here, and let me assure you that standing with Israel is part of our core DNA and our policies to support and stand with it with Israel. Thank you, and I look forward to our discussion. ”

Hamas is making a mockery of President Trump’s peace plan.

In a public address yesterday in Istanbul, Hamas leader Khaled Mashal declared that Hamas has no intention of disarming, giving up its weapons, its rule, or its path.

He also rejected any form of external oversight in Gaza - including the idea of an international force.

A direct contradiction of the core terms of the peace plan itself.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar;

"Good to meet with Costa Rican Minister of Foreign Trade Manuel Tovar Rivera.

We agreed on the opening of a Costa Rican Innovation Office with Diplomatic Status in the first quarter of 2026 in Jerusalem, our eternal capital.

I thank the President of Costa Rica Rodrigo Chaves Robles for his leadership and friendship with Israel.

The office is not only a symbol, it's an important tool for strengthening ties between our nations in innovation and technology!

The mask is off. Beirut admits: The keys to Hezbollah’s arsenal are held by Tehran. As long as Iran controls the weapons in Lebanon, they control the conflict. Peace can only come when Lebanon is free from Iranian occupation.

❗️ EXPOSED: Documents revealing that, under Iran’s direction, Hamas operates a network of exiled Gazan currency exchangers in central Turkey, exploiting the country’s financial system for their terrorist purposes.

The network transfers hundreds of millions of dollars directly to Hamas and its senior officials, conducting extensive financial activity including receiving, storing, and transferring Iranian funds.

Three operatives are identified as:
• Tamer Hassan: Senior Hamas Finance Office official in Turkey operating directly under Khalil al-Khiya
• Khalil Farwana and Farid Abu Dair: Currency exchangers in the Hamas Network

Hamas is attempting to reestablish itself outside Gaza, and we will continue to operate against their terror, no matter the distance.
