Snippet:
Since taking office seven months ago, center-right Christian Democrat (CDU) Chancellor Friedrich Merz has been engaged with the German-Israeli "special relationship." There have been several disputes between Berlin and Jerusalem over Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip in response to the Hamas-led terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which claimed more than 1,200 lives.
