Steinmeier Urges Israel for Restraint and Diplomacy - Visit Planned Next Week
German President Steinmeier to Urge Israel for Self-Restraint - Upcoming Visit - Council Remains Silent as Commission Awaits Response
Here's the deal, folks. Steinie, our man, is gonna give Israel a piece of his mind, and rightly so. He's concerned as fuck about the fucking mess over in Gaza, and he wants Israel to chill the fuck out and start talking to their Arab neighbors before shit hits the fan even harder.
A source close to Steinie said, "We're keeping a close eye on Israel, and we're not digging what we see. The civilians in Gaza are taking a beating, and that ain't cool."
During his travels to Arab countries, Steinie's noticed that everyone's ready to talk diplomacy, and it seems like they're more eager than ever before. Steinie hopes that Israel will take this opportunity to make peace and end the war.
Before Steinie's visit, the new German Foreign Minister, Wadephul, from the CDU party, is heading to Israel this weekend. Germany's Chancellor, Merz, from the same party, made the announcement on Tuesday.
Monday marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Germany and Israel. The Israeli President, Isaac Herzog, will travel to Berlin for this special occasion. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Herzog and Steinie, along with their wives, will then jet off to Israel together.
This joint visit is a big fucking deal, according to a spokesperson from the Federal President's Office. "This is the first time both presidential couples will visit both countries together. It's a sign of the friendship between the two countries and the two presidents."
Germany and Israel established diplomatic relations on May 12, 1965. Given Germany's bloody history during the Nazi era, mending fences was a tricky business. But, over time, things have worked out, and they've developed a solid friendship. However, things have become pretty strained recently due to Israel's actions in Gaza.
