Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Jerusalem and Berlin will continue to strengthen their alliance during a meeting with Germany’s new foreign minister, Johann Wadephul, at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, APA reports citing Times of Israel.
“We’ve had excellent relations, we’ll continue them in this conversation,” says Netanyahu, alongside Wadephul ahead of the meeting, in a video shared by the PMO.
“We have a lot of common interests, a lot of common values, and a lot of common challenges…I will send my best regards to [new German Chancellor] Friedrich Merz and to your joint efforts to continue the Israel–Germany alliance,” he continues.
Wadephul replies that “It’s a privilege to be here on the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our countries.”
