Prime Minister Netanyahu and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz discussed Trump’s peace plan, agreeing that Hamas must remain under maximum pressure.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Sunday with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to discuss the progress of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan and the ongoing negotiations aimed at securing the release of all Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
During the conversation, the two leaders agreed that sustained international pressure on Hamas is essential to achieve a breakthrough in the talks and to prevent the terror organization from regaining strength.
Netanyahu expressed deep appreciation for Germany’s steadfast support of Israel, particularly amid growing international challenges.
“We will continue to act decisively until all the aims of the war are achieved,” the Prime Minister said, “including the return of all the hostages and ensuring Israel’s security.”
German Chancellor Merz reaffirmed Berlin’s commitment to Israel’s right to self-defense and the shared goal of dismantling Hamas’s terror infrastructure.
The discussion marks another show of European backing for Trump’s initiative, which calls for the complete disarmament of Hamas, the demilitarization of Gaza, and guaranteed Israeli security control in critical zones to prevent renewed threats against Israeli civilians.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Sunday with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to discuss the progress of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan and the ongoing negotiations aimed at securing the release of all Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
