German Politicians Stand in Solidarity with Israel and Local Jews
In a joint statement, democratic Members of the German Bundestag and Landtag from the Pforzheim and Enzkreis region have expressed their solidarity with Israel and Jews living in the region. The statement, issued on an unspecified date, comes in response to the terrorist acts carried out by Hamas against Israel in October.
The MPs unequivocally condemned these acts, declaring them as terrorist attacks. They also expressed dismay if Jews no longer feel safe or live in fear. The MPs reaffirmed their commitment to the safety and security of Jews in their regions, and declared Israel's right to exist as non-negotiable.
The statement was addressed to the public, and the MPs vowed never to accept Jews living in fear or without safety in their respective regions. They also stated that the attacks on October 7 in Israel were terrorist acts by Hamas, and that Hamas poses a threat not only to the civilian population in Gaza but also causes additional suffering there.
The MPs further declared that Jewish life is considered essential in Germany, and they expressed a desire for Jews to always feel safe in Germany, Pforzheim, and the Enzkreis. The federal and state MPs reiterated their unwavering support for Israel.
The joint statement was signed by Katja Mast, Gunther Krichbaum, Stephanie Aeffner, Rainer Semet, Stefanie Seemann, Felix Herkens, Dr. Hans-Ulrich Rülke, and Prof. Dr. Erik Schweickert.
While the specific context and response of German political figures from the Pforzheim and Enzkreis region to the terrorist acts in Israel in October 20XX could not be found in the current search results, it is worth noting that Diana Zimmer, a Bundestag member from the region, issued a press release as of late July 2025. However, the content of the press release is not detailed in the search results, so any stance she might have on the Israel incidents cannot be confirmed.
Local political discourse captured includes calls for suicide prevention and addresses social issues such as bullying, indicating active social engagement from the Pforzheim political scene. However, unrelated to foreign terrorist events, no regional official statements or initiatives connected to events in Israel or related counterterrorism responses are documented in the provided sources. Further inquiry with more targeted or updated sources would be necessary to obtain such information.
- The MPs from the Pforzheim and Enzkreis region, in their joint statement, not only expressed their solidarity with Israel but also policy and legislation aimed at ensuring the safety and security of Jews living in their regions, positioning this as a fundamental part of their politics.
- The MPs' stance against war-and-conflicts, such as the terrorist acts carried out by Hamas in October, extends beyond merely statements, as they have committed to general-news reporting on such events, advocating for a more informed public amidst the ongoing politics.
