Germany toughens its tone on Israel | Berlin Briefing Podcast
‘When international humanitarian law is being violated, then the German chancellor must say something about it’, said Friedrich Merz this week. In this episode, we investigate what’s behind this new stern tone from one of Israel’s closest allies, Germany. Host Nina Haase and her guests investigate just how the concept of Staatsräson has impacted Germans’ ability to differentiate between criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and antisemitism. Another focus for Merz is his pledge to enhance Germany's position on the international stage. Is he delivering? His announcement to help Ukraine build long-range missiles suggests so. And: How will Merz try to keep Donald Trump interested and engaged in Europe? Stephan Detjen, Richard Walker and John Kampfner give their insights.CHAPTERS:
