Merkel calls for Iranian forces to leave Syria
During a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, German Chancellor Angela Merkel calls for Iranian troops to leave Syria, calling their presence on the Golan Heights a clear threat to Israel.
Merkel also says Germany continues to back a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and acknowledges increasing anti-Semitism in her country.
