Diplomacy as a key: Schmid demands peace for Israel!

Nils Schmid, the foreign policy spokesman for the SPD parliamentary group, made it clear on the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel that Germany supports the self-defense of Israel, while at the same time diplomatic solutions are necessary. In an interview with Phoenix, Schmid stated that in addition to military measures, the search for political solutions is also urgently necessary. He criticized the Netanyahu government for the absence of a political reaction and emphasized that permanent peace can only be achieved through diplomacy. Schmid also underlined the importance of initiatives such as an armistice and emphasized that military strength alone is not sufficient to ensure Israel's security.

Schmid emphasized that the international community should continue to push for an armistice in Lebanon and Gaza to released hostages, since these points are still "unchanged up to date and correct". He appeals to everyone involved to search for the dialogue and not to escalate the situation, since permanent peace is only possible in a diplomatic way.
