If CDU leader Friedrich Merz becomes chancellor, Merz should break with this traditional German attitude that has contributed to delaying and avoiding peace instead of promoting it
The Palestinians must understand that there is a high price for their violence and terror
It must be made clear to them that murdering Jews is not a profitable profession Ending the “pay to slay” mentality and the “denazification” of Palestinian society are two primordial preconditions to any future peace process

Instead of opposing US President Donald Trump’s attempts to think outside the box to solve the Middle Eastern conflict, Germany should mobilize itself to help him, rethinking its attitude
Sixty-five years have passed since West Germany’s first chancellor Konrad Adenauer meeting Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion, in New York
Remembering history is important but forming the present day for the sake of a better future is much more important
Merz is right to follow Adenauer but Merz should show that he is no less a leader. Realpolitik should replace illusions
