Good to meet Dr. Alexander Dubrau, director of the Leo Baeck Institute in #Jerusalem. Founded by Hannah Arendt & Martin Buber, @LeoBaeckJeru stands out for its renowned research on German-Jewish history. We are happy to support the Institute‘s renovation.

Working hard to improve the humanitarian situation in #Gaza. Today, 🇩🇪 handed over a large cargo scanner to 🇮🇱 authorities at the Erez crossing. This will ensure that more aid gets into Gaza while safeguarding Israeli security. We thank all partners for their trust & cooperation.

What a pleasure! So honored that famous journalist Walter Bingham shared his life stories with me. At 102, he has crystal clear memories of Nazi Germany, escaping to Britain, and his Aliyah at 80. Today, he is the world‘s oldest working journalist. Danke, lieber Walter!

Bernhard Glück- today: Dov Gilon- was born in 1935 in Darmstadt. He fled Nazi persecution with his family, and survived the Shoah. I was honored to return to him what had always, rightfully been his: the German citizenship. Thank you, Dov, for sharing this special moment with us.

After Yad Vashem, my second visit took me south. I wanted to see where things stand nearly 3 years after Hamas’ terror on October 7. As the rebuilding of the kibbutzim is getting underway, I also learned that dealing with the trauma caused by this horrible pogrom will take time.

Hopeful news from #Gaza: Hamas has agreed to a roadmap for disarmament. I welcome agreement reached by the #US with support of mediators from 🇪🇬 🇶🇦 🇹🇷 & @nmladenov. It is now key that real progress is made & Hamas actually disarms. It must never again pose a threat to #Israel 1/2

In @yadvashem for my first official visit. Remembering the Shoah, I feel the responsibility that emerges from Nazi Germany‘s past for my country‘s future and its relations to Israel and the Jewish people today. Looking forward to continue our close cooperation, @AmbDaniDayan!

Given the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, every bit of support counts. Yesterday, @MalteserInt opened a new clinic in Gaza City, offering essential healthcare to up to 100 patients daily. We are proud to support this vital initiative. Photo Credits: MI

The nuns of St.Charles in Jerusalem have educated generations of Palestinian boys and girls in their kindergarten, Muslims and Christians. The love and respect at this year‘s graduation warmed my heart.

What a special place for a reception: the German frigate “Nordrhein-Westfalen” in Haifa port, fresh from controlling the waters off Lebanon. Proud to welcome military partners and many friends from the North of Israel. To the men and women of our Navy: Thank you for your service!

Before I leave (and will miss) Israel it was good to speak to Nachum Barnea about some of the key issues in my four years here: from Oct 7th and the hostages to the war and misery in Gaza, and how Germany and Europe view the situation in the West Bank. Thank you @YediotAhronot.
