The German-American former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (100) is calling for Germany to provide unconditional support to Israel, "even militarily in extreme cases." Kissinger made this statement during an exclusive interview with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner for WELT-TV at his country home in Connecticut, USA.

Regarding the jubilant Arab crowds on the streets of Berlin following the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, Kissinger, who had to flee Germany as a Jewish refugee before the Holocaust, expressed his sorrow, stating, "This is painful." He also attributes the cause to Germany’s asylum policy, saying, "It was a grave mistake to admit so many people from entirely different cultures, religions, and beliefs, as it fosters interest groups within countries."

As the US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger played a pivotal role in diplomatic efforts 50 years ago to end the Yom Kippur War when Israel was unexpectedly attacked by its Arab neighbors. The German-American does not rule out the possibility of further escalation in the current conflict, including a potential Israeli strike on Iran, which supports Hamas.

Despite Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005, returning land to the Palestinians, they have not achieved peace. Kissinger asserts, "Concessions cannot be made to people who have demonstrated through their actions that there will be no peace. There must be consequences."

He expects the European Union to make it clear to states intending to intervene in the conflict that they will face a price for their actions. Kissinger believes that what is happening to Israel could also happen to Europe, and the wars in Ukraine and Israel represent a fundamental assault on the international system.
