Germany, unlike some of its European partners, does not intend to recognise Palestinian statehood in the foreseeable future, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The head of the German government emphasised that it is first important to implement the peace plan step by step.
“What will happen in the end, no one knows today. And since that is the case, the German government, unlike other European states, has rejected the premature recognition of a Palestinian state. We will not do this, nor in the foreseeable future,” Merz said.
He added that there are currently “no conditions” for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
