Merkel: Germany supports demand to remove Iranian troops from Syria
In Berlin, German Chancellor Merkel tells PM Netanyahu that she agrees with Israel’s demand that Iranian troops be removed from Syria, especially the area close to the Israeli order.
Merkel says the two leaders also discussed the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, invoking the need for a two-state solution.
“There isn’t agreement on all points. But we’re partners, we’re friends,” she says.
Merkel says she and her government will visit Jerusalem in October
