Foreign Minister Yair Lapid is meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
“It is a great pleasure that you are here with us. The fact that you have arrived at such chaotic times is proof that even in a world so unstable, which has become even less stable in recent days, the friendships between our people and countries are stable and steadfast,” Lapid says at the outset of the meeting.
“The commitment you and your government have to cultivate this friendship warms the hearts of us all.”
