Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lauds the huge defense deal with Germany announced this morning, calling the agreement a “historic turning point” between the two nations.
“Seventy-five years ago, the Jewish people were crushed to ashes in Nazi Germany,” Netanyahu says in a statement. “Seventy-five years later, the Jewish state gives Germany, another Germany, tools to defend itself… what Israeli pride. What a historic turning point.”
