Rising antisemitism in Europe (debate)

Mr President! A few days ago, the Berlin police arrested three Hamas terrorists during the handover of weapons – in the middle of Berlin. With assault rifles, a Syrian and two Lebanese wanted to attack Jewish institutions in Germany. Apparently, October 7th was a model for the action. This is the result of the policy of open borders. Angela Merkel brought terror to Germany. Our Jewish compatriots …

The EU’s role in supporting the recent peace efforts for Gaza and a two-state solution (debate)

Mr President! Donald Trump has presented a peace plan for the Middle East, and Friedrich Merz is already pulling out the checkbook. The reconstruction of Gaza is to be paid for by German taxpayers. It is the same principle as in Syria, Afghanistan or Ukraine – the Americans make deals, Germany pays. We have transferred €12 billion in reconstruction aid to Syria, €17 billion to Afghanistan, and €50…

Madam President, Since Hamas' attack on Israel, the European Union has paid over 1.6 billion euros to Gaza; Germany has added another billion. Without German taxpayers' money, the Palestinians would not be able to feed themselves. This was the case before the war. Nothing is produced in Gaza. Two-thirds of the food must be imported.
