Watch: German Chancellor Merz links criticism of Israel to antisemitism

Israel ·

Speaking at a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Ohel Jakob Synagogue, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany stands steadfastly by Israel's side. He told the audience that much of the language used in anti-colonial liberation struggles or in criticism of Israel qualifies as antisemitism.

Germany regards Israel's security as part of its historical responsibility arising from the Holocaust, and where criticism of Israel ends and antisemitism begins is a long-running debate there.
