I am travelling to Israel and the Palestinian territories to underscore the Federal Government’s continued support for a two-state solution negotiated between the two parties. I am observing the challenges facing a lasting and just peace with great concern. In Ramallah, the focus will also be on how the Federal Government can promote democratic and economic development and improve the humanitarian situation among the population. In Israel, I would also like to seize the opportunity to take a stand in the debate on growing anti-Semitism in Germany.
