Chancellor Scholz
German Chancellor to Visits Israel in Show of Solidarity, First World Leader to Do So
Baku/17.10.23/Turan: On Tuesday, October 17, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will make a historic visit to Israel, becoming the first world leader to embark on such a mission. The purpose of his visit is to express solidarity with Israel and meet with the families of hostages currently held by terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
During his visit, Chancellor Scholz had scheduled meetings with several key Israeli officials, including President Yitzhak Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Yoav Galant. These discussions are expected to encompass a range of pressing issues, including regional security, diplomatic relations, and the ongoing efforts to secure the release of hostages in Gaza.
This visit comes at a critical juncture for Israel, as it grapples with the challenge of securing the safe return of its citizens who are being held captive. Chancellor Scholz's presence in Israel underscores the international community's commitment to supporting the nation during this trying time.
Furthermore, tomorrow, on October 18, the visit of another prominent world leader is anticipated, as US President Joe Biden is set to arrive in Israel. President Biden's visit is expected to be closely watched, as it is poised to deepen the diplomatic ties between the United States and Israel, and further address the ongoing regional concerns.
As these world leaders converge in Israel, their collective presence signifies a unified front against terrorism and a reaffirmation of their commitment to fostering peace and security in the region.--0-
