"Calling out Deception" - Merz's Crusade Against Iran and Israel
Warning Issued to Iran and Israel: Potential Escalation of Tensions Highlighted
Before jetting off to the NATO summit, Chancellor Friedrich Merz brings Iran to task once more, urging it to abandon its nuclear ambitions. However, his words don't stop there - he also chides Israel for its conduct in the Gaza Strip, voicing his stance on human dignity in the war-torn territory.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz sees Iran's nuclear program as a ticking time bomb. "With the recent Israeli and U.S. military actions, we pray that Iran holds back from advancing toward its destructive objective," he declared in a government statement. At the NATO summit in The Hague, discussions on this issue will take center stage.
The conflict with Iran, according to Merz, cannot set the entire region ablaze. The federal government, therefore, supports all diplomatic interventions aiming to prevent this calamity. His administration criticizes Iran for its manipulative approaches in its nuclear program, suspected of intentionally misleading the global community while masquerading as a civilian nuclear program. The Iranian regime refuses international inspectors access to their nuclear facilities.
Merz also lambasts Israel for its actions in the Gaza Strip: "We reserve the right to question Israel's motive regarding its objectives in the Gaza Strip," he asserted. "And we advocate for the wellbeing of the people residing in the Gaza Strip, particularly women, children, and the elderly." Germany in the EU strongly disapproves of suspending the EU association agreement with Israel and demands a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
After addressing the NATO summit, Merz intends to attend the first gathering since Donald Trump's return to the White House. The summit kicks off in the evening in The Hague.
