Israel policy: Chrupalla accuses Merz a lack of support
The AfD sees a strategic partner in Germany in Israel. Party leader Chrupalla still criticizes the situation in the Gaza Strip – and the Chancellor.
In view of the dispute in the Union faction on the arms delivery to Israel, AfD boss Tino Chrupalla has accused Chancellor Friedrich Merz a lack of assertiveness. “He cannot connect his government behind him, or his faction, including the CDU faction, which is currently absolutely split in these things,” said Chrupalla in the ZDF “Summer Interview”.
At the same time, he made it clear that the AfD is behind the delivery freezer. “Our position, for example, when it comes to arms deliveries in crisis and war areas.
The decision of Merz had sometimes been sharp criticism from the coalition partner CSU and also from parts of the CDU. Even today, the foreign politicians of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group should come together for a video session.
Chrupalla sees “crimes” in the Gaza Strip
When asked whether Israel adheres to international law, Chrupalla was cautious. “This is not the task of politicians to evaluate this. Afterwards, this should do the those who are responsible for it.” This included dishes or the United Nations.

Personally, competent and entertaining: Editor -in -chief Gregor Peter Schmitz sends you the most important content from the star-Credaction and arranges what Germany talks about.
Nevertheless, Chrupalla made it clear that, in his view, the Israeli side committed crimes in the Gaza Strip. “In many things we see in Gaza in terms of care for civilians when it comes to the hungry children, when it comes to killing children, one has to speak of the fact that crimes take place there.” These would have to be tuned and processed. This sometimes happens in the Israeli army.
It is clear to the AfD that Israel is a partner and a friendly country. Friends also have to be criticized if they were wrong. No injustice justifies further injustice. “So here it has to be about the federal government to get the hostages free, and that of course you also put pressure on Israel,” said Chrupalla.
