In Germany, October 7th also became a turning point. Since then, Jews have felt less protected, anti-Semitic attacks have become more frequent, men are afraid to walk down the street wearing a kippah, and children are afraid to speak Hebrew on the subway.
This article by German Foreign Minister Annalena Bärbock was published by BILD.
Gleava of the German Foreign Ministry admitted that she was ashamed that Iranian missiles aimed at the State of Israel were welcomed on the streets of her country.
“We stand up to this. With the full force of the law. And with a clear message to our Israeli friends: We stand by your side. Your safety is part of our public policy,” she said.
The German Foreign Minister believes that Israel has the right to self-defense against violence from Hamas, as well as against missile terror from Iran and Hezbollah. It is important that Israelis can live in peace and security. And this requires attention to the security of Israel’s neighbors. After all, sustainable security in the region can only exist when it is ensured for everyone.
“That’s why we have been working tirelessly for a year to ensure that all the hostages are released. To end the suffering of two million children, women and men in Gaza, behind whom Hamas is cowardly hiding. So that humanitarian aid reaches them. And so that security for the people in the Middle East has ceased to be a distant hope and has become a reality,” said Burbock.
Israeli Yarden, who was kidnapped by Hamas men on October 7 while she was running away with her husband and child, has been released, she said. After 53 days in hell, she was able to hug her daughter Gefen again.
“For me, the photo of their embrace became a light in the darkness. But more than 100 hostages are still being held captive by terrorists. Therefore, the photo of Yarden and Gefen is a call not to give up, especially these days when the Jewish New Year begins. So that all the hostages return home . So that the suffering finally ends. And so that peace becomes possible,” concluded Burbock.
