Chancellor of Germany Friedrich March:
As the federal government, we are doing, and will continue to do, everything we can to protect Jewish life in our country and around the world.
In this we stand unquestionably on Israel's side.
The fact that there is a country, a country in the world where the Jews are not a vulnerable minority, where they can find protection when barbarism once again prevails in their home countries, is also part of our historical responsibility.
