German Chancellor Olaf Scholz meets in Tel Aviv with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Scholz tweets the same message in German, English and Hebrew:

“My visit to Israel is a visit to friends. Germany stands firmly by Israel’s side.

“Afterwards I will travel to Egypt to see President Al-Sisi. It’s about protecting the civilian population in the Gaza Strip and avoiding a conflagration.”
