Israeli ambassador to Germany condemns Bezalel Smotrich's tirade against chancellor
"Ron Prosor stated that Smotrich's tirade against Merz erodes the memory of the Holocaust, emphasizing the importance of preserving this historical memory in diplomatic relations."
"Smotrich invoked the Nazis' murder of 6 million Jews, claiming that the German Chancellor should apologize on behalf of Germany rather than preach morality to Israel."
"The Israeli finance minister criticized European leaders, asserting that the days of Germans dictating to Jews where they can live are over, emphasizing a strong stance against perceived oppression."
Israel's envoy to Germany criticized Israeli cabinet member Bezalel Smotrich for making historically charged accusations against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Smotrich's comments referenced the Nazi regime and were made in response to Merz's objections to Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The envoy, Ron Prosor, condemned Smotrich's remarks, stating they erode the memory of the Holocaust. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between Israel and Germany regarding Israel's actions towards Palestinians, with Merz expressing concern over military actions and the situation in the Palestinian territories.
