As a Spaniard (the country he threatened) I have to say that this is really disappointing. Not only Germany continues to accept any violation of Israel’s international law and no longer has the courage to tell the USA what it told it during the Iraq war. Now they don’t even want to plant him towards abuse by threatening a friend. I expected much more from Germany
It might look disappointing, but only if you don’t know the background of Merz. If you know, it’s just the expected outcome. Before becoming a full-time politician, Merz did “work” as an investment banker for BlackRock in the USA.
