Henry Kissinger calls German migration policy a “serious mistake”

WORLD Henry Kissinger calls German migration policy a “serious mistake” 3 hours. The images of people cheering in Germany after Hamas' major attack on Israel hurt former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. The 100-year-old fled Nazi Germany as a teenager and is calling on the federal government to give Israel its full support. Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has called for Germany's unrestricted support for Israel - "in extreme cases, including militarily." Kissinger said this in his country house in the US state of Connecticut in an exclusive interview with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner for WELT-TV. Kissinger, who as a Jew had to flee Germany from the Holocaust, called the images of cheering Arabs on the streets of Berlin after Hamas' attack on Israel "painful." He also sees the cause in Germany's asylum policy: "It was a serious mistake to let in so many people of completely different cultures, religions and beliefs because it creates interest groups in the countries." As US Secretary of State 50 years ago, Henry Kissinger used tireless travel diplomacy to help end the Yom Kippur War, when Israel had already been unexpectedly attacked by Arab neighbors. The now 100-year-old does not believe that a further escalation of the current war with Hamas is out of the question, nor is an Israeli attack on Iran, which supports the terrorist organization. Israel gave the Palestinians back their land when it withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, but did not get peace in return. “You can no longer make concessions to people who have shown through their actions that there will be no peace. There has to be a punishment,” emphasized Kissinger. He expects the European Union to make it clear to states that want to intervene in the war that they will pay a price for it. Because: What happens to Israel could also happen to Europe. The wars against Ukraine and Israel are a fundamental attack on the international system.
