Germany’s Merz praises Israel for doing ‘dirty work for us’

Merz - Israel news

The German chancellor has endorsed the ongoing Israeli strikes against Iran.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has lauded Israel’s military strikes against Iran, saying the Israeli government and army are doing the “dirty work” of Western nations.

Merz made the remarks in a series of interviews on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada, attended by all guarantors of the original 2015 Iran nuclear deal, except for Russia and China.

“This is the dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us. We are also victims of this regime,” he said in an interview with ZDF, claiming that “this mullah regime has brought death and destruction to the world.”

I can only say: The greatest respect for the fact that the Israeli army and the Israeli leadership had the courage to do this.

“I assume that the attacks of the last few days have already weakened the mullah regime considerably and that it is unlikely to return to its former strength, making the future of the country uncertain,” Merz said in a separate interview with Die Welt.

Germany is part of the P5+1 group, which negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, in 2015. Despite his support for the strikes, Merz stated that Berlin is ready to back new negotiations to ensure Iran never obtains nuclear weapons.

West Jerusalem justified its attack on Friday by claiming Iran is on the brink of obtaining nuclear weapons. Tehran has repeatedly denied the accusations, maintaining that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful.

Iran retaliated by firing dozens of ballistic missiles into Israel, with both sides exchanging attacks ever since. Iran has reported at least 224 deaths since the hostilities began. Israel has reported 24 deaths.

In a joint statement on Monday, the leaders of the G7 called Iran the “principal source of regional instability and terror,” adding: “we have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.”

US President Donald Trump, who abruptly cut his stay at the G7 summit short, demanded an “unconditional surrender” from Iran on Tuesday.

Washington previously demanded that Tehran stop all uranium enrichment, which Iranian officials described as “completely detached from reality.”

Iran currently enriches uranium to 60% purity, far above the 3.67% cap set under the now-defunct 2015 nuclear deal, which was rendered null and void after Trump unilaterally withdrew the US from it during his first term.

Russia has condemned Israel’s initial airstrikes and called for deescalation. President Vladimir Putin spoke with Trump by phone over the weekend, and according to Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov, the two discussed the possibility of reviving negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.

  1. We all know that you and the other lunatic Zionist zealot leaders of the collective west are all involved right up to their coke dusted noses in this. Like Russia, Iran is in a war with the Zionist western empire.

  2. Merz, the grandson of a Nazi, praises the Israeli government for its unprovoked attack on Iran. You can’t make his s#it up.

  3. Once a nazi, always a nazi.
    Learned nothing. What an opportunistic idiot parroting the same as all bought and corrupt european politici. I won t say ” leader”, because those politicians such as starmer , macron and merz are working in the interests of blackrock, Vanguard etc. and the demise of the populations and countries they still represent. For the time being.

  4. “This is the dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us.» To my mind an utterly awful but nonetheless true statement. Israel is the Western bred proxy in the Middle East, that does the small band of war mongering mafia style, elite globalists, dirty work, for them, in the region.

    They have had a hand in wars in Africa, most notably Libya and Sudan, Iraq(yes they had a substantial role in that), Syria and they are actively involved in supporting the Kiev regime (not a well known or publicised fact).

    They have been out to overthrow at least seven nations (with Western co operation). Iran is apparently the last on the list.

    • Bingo.

      First they try the nice way….., if that fails send in the jackal and if that fails, WAR.

      Whatever way it goes, the country was never “nelped” or liberated but in many cases left worse off than they were before, only this time they no longer own their own resources and owe a shedload of money to the bankers of the world, the elite who have helped plunder countries of the world (including New Zealand) in order to ingratiate themselves.

      Disgusting.

  5. The drugs have fried his brain and Merz lives in his delusional dreamworld.

    Merz says “This is the dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us.”

    The “all of us” that Merz refers to is a small minority of the world’s population.

    While the overwhelming majority of the world’s population clearly understands that Israel is the rogue terrorist state which needs to be dismantled.
