AfD parliamentary group leader Tino Chrupalla praised Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s diplomatic efforts in Israel. An escalation of the situation in the Middle East must be averted at all costs, said Chrupalla in the Bundestag on Thursday. “The war in the Middle East powder keg must not escalate into a conflagration.” The federal government must help and provide support instead of further heating up the mood. “And Chancellor Scholz is taking this route exactly this time,” says Chrupalla. With his visit to Tel Aviv he showed that negotiation and mediation were the order of the day.
At the same time, the AfD parliamentary group leader criticizes that the federal government is not sufficiently committed to the release of the hostages taken by the Islamist Hamas. In addition, she must prevent another wave of migration to Germany and Europe.
