Israeli Diplomat Speaks Out in Support of Merz Amidst Controversy - Israeli envoy defends Merz amidst criticism faced.
adapted from: "Dirty Work" Quote: Israel's Ambassador Defends Merz Against Criticism
The word's got folks riled up! Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz, known for his blunt talk, has boldly backed Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities by using words that quickly scorched the airwaves. Merz, in a bold move, referred to Israel's actions as the "dirty work" that's keeping us all safe from global peril. This fiery comment by Merz, made on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada, has faced sharp criticism from politicians across the political spectrum and the SPD.
The debate began when ZDF moderator, Diana Zimmermann, questioned Merz using the phrase "dirty work." Merz picked up the phrase and went on to say, "Diana, I'm darn grateful to you for the term dirty work. That's just the dirty work Israel is doing for us all. We're not immune to this regime's threats. This regime has brought death and destruction to the world."
The intensity of Merz's statement and the use of the provocative term "dirty work" did not go unnoticed, with many politicians blasting the chancellor for his choice of words. However, Israel's Ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, has defended Merz's statement in the face of criticism. Prosor spoke to the German Press Agency in support of Merz and said, "The Iranian nuclear program is a significant threat not just to Israel, but to the entire world. The rockets currently hitting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem pose a threat to Berlin, Paris, and London. We must end the terror supply chain."
The European reaction to the conflict is being keenly observed around the globe, as it is seen as a test of Europe's resolve to stand up for its values and interests. Prosor believes that the weapon deliveries for the war against Ukraine have already been significantly disrupted thanks to international pressures, and the attacks by the Houthis on maritime traffic between Europe and Asia have decreased.
