"Germany will continue to support the State of Israel, including with arms deliveries," Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said in an apparent reversal.
The Federal Republic will continue to the Jewish state, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Wednesday, in an apparent reversal of recent comments on the issue.
“Germany will continue to support the State of Israel, including with arms deliveries,” the top diplomat told lawmakers in parliament on Wednesday, the German news agency DPA reported.
Wadephul, a member of the ruling center-right Christian Democratic Union, warned last week that Germany may be forced to take “further steps” if Jerusalem continues to pursue its goal of destroying Hamas in Gaza.
