Only a few friends. The German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, wearing a cap, set the conditions under which Germany allows Israel to criticize. In his speech, the only acceptable critics are "friends of Israel", and anything that questions the legitimacy of Israel as a state, he said, is hatred of Jews. Since the first day of the genocide, Germany has shown its full loyalty to Israel. It has continued to supply arms, except for a partial suspension of exports that it removed in November 2025, it has sided with Israel at the International Court of Justice, and it has repeatedly banned and dispersed pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
