Germany's rejects US ambassador's remarks supporting Israel's control over Middle East
Germany on Monday dismissed statements by the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who argued that the Jewish state had a biblical right to the land stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates rivers.
Germany has “taken note of the reactions of numerous states in the region. And I would like to clarify once again the position of the German government. The West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem are the starting point for the future Palestinian state, and that is the basis from which we proceed,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Kathrin Deschauer said during a press briefing in Berlin.
