Much has been said lately about the extremist parties that seem to be gaining support among voters, including in Germany, at least in the east. And it is true that the massive vote for the AfD in two states of the former GDR should not be taken lightly, given that this far-right party is so…
Since 2008, Israel’s security has been presented as a component of German national interest. In August 2026, by condemning, along with six other governments, the E1 settlement project in the West Bank, Chancellor Friedrich Merz made Berlin’s shifting policy clear.

As Israel’s October 27, 2026, legislative elections approach, security, war, and identity divides dominate the public debate.

Founded in…
