“I want to make this very clear: The annexation measures being discussed in Quds will further complicate the two-state solution. The German government urgently calls for such steps to be avoided with regard to the so-called E1 territory. It will be a grave mistake,” Merz said.

Merz added that, at his request, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul will travel to Israel to emphasize the position of Berlin and to support policy changes.
