Germany: Special Connection

February 1, 2011

In recent years, in light of the negative change in the German public opinion towards Israel, there are those in Germany who are calling for an end to the special relations between the two countries. Wulff strongly rejects these calls.

“Those who make such demands are demanding the impossible,”he says. “We cannot separate from such a significant part of history and of our self-perception. So I am fully convinced that the connection tying Germany to Israel is special and will remain special.”
