CDU leader in Hamburg criticizes Chancellor's policy towards Israel as misguided
In a series of statements, CDU state association chairman Thering has called for increased pressure on Hamas to end the ongoing suffering in Gaza. Thering has expressed a desire for the Federal Government to take a stronger stance in this regard, particularly in relation to Israel.
Thering believes that those who may see foreign policy strength in the decision to partially halt arms exports to Israel are underestimating its potential effects. He notes that the Islamists rejoice, Israel is publicly in the dock, and international partners are left confused by the decision.
Thering urges the Federal Government to return to smart decisions, citing Germany's history as a reason for careful consideration. He advocates for supporting Israel in its efforts to combat terrorism and end the unspeakable suffering in Gaza.
However, Thering also acknowledges that the partial embargo, which primarily concerns submarines and ships used for territorial defence, has little practical impact on Israel's ability to defend itself. Despite this, he emphasizes the need for the Federal Government to communicate its decisions more effectively.
Thering's statements indicate a strong stance in favour of supporting Israel and ending the suffering in Gaza. He believes that the Federal Government should stand up for German state interests while maintaining a balanced and thoughtful approach to foreign policy.
Despite extensive searches, no publicly available information has been found regarding Thering's views on Federal Chancellor Merz's decision to partially halt arms exports to Israel or his assessment of the decision's consequences. For a more detailed insight into Thering's position, it may be necessary to consult recent official CDU statements, press releases, or direct interviews not covered in the available search data.
