German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Germany will not recognize Palestine but pressed Israel to commit to a two-state solution while cautioning against any future annexation of the West Bank. Netanyahu said Israelis strongly oppose a Palestinian state after October 7 but confirmed no annexation is planned soon. The two discussed advancing Gaza ceasefire phase-2, U.S. coordination with Trump, and deepening Israel–Germany defense ties, including Arrow-3 deployment and cooperation in AI, quantum tech and strategic security.
