Israel and Germany mark six decades of bilateral relations

The leaders of Germany and Israel marked the ongoing ties between their nations on May 12th, six decades after diplomatic ties between the countries started, according to Al-Monitor.

Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, said the launch of the ties in 1965 was “a gift that we Germans could not have expected after the horrors of the Second World War”.  Israeli president Issac Herzog said the cooperation and unity between the two countries was “a source of hope.”

Herzog applauded Germany’s aid towards Israel’s security and stability as well as its committed support after the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7th 2023.
