The attack on Israeli territory that Iran launched tonight is unjustifiable and highly irresponsible. Iran risks a further escalation in the region. Germany stands by Israel and we will discuss the situation with our allies.

Germany’s solidarity is with all Israelis tonight whom Iran is terrorising with this unprecedented and ruthless attack: Jews as well as Arabs and Christians, the Bedouins in the Negev as well as the Druze in the Golan. May they all be safe.

Iran has launched drones & missiles on Israel. We condemn the ongoing attack in the strongest possible terms, risking to plunge an entire region into chaos. Iran & its proxies must stop this immediately. In these hours, we stand firmly by Israel. Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock

Sophie Scholl was executed at the age of 21 for encouraging Germans to resist the Nazis during WWII.

Today, the European Parliament named one of its buildings after her in recognition of the values Scholl stood for: freedom, human rights & democracy.
