德国总理弗里德里希·默茨再次确认德国对以色列的支持，同时主张建立与以色列并存的巴勒斯坦国，认为这是实现地区和平与安全的最佳途径。
Chancellor Friedrich Merz reaffirmed Germany’s support for Israel while also calling for a Palestinian state alongside Israel as the best path to peace and security in the region.
作为长期支持以色列的保守派政治家，默茨在周三发表书面声明重申了这一立场。他表示，德国将坚定站在以色列一边，以色列的朋友们可以信赖柏林的承诺。
Merz, a conservative politician who has long backed Israel, renewed that stance in a written statement Wednesday. He said Germany stands firmly by Israel and that Israeli friends can count on Berlin’s commitment.
默茨将冲突责任归咎于哈马斯，称德国心系2023年10月袭击事件的受害者、幸存者以及曾被劫持的人质。他表示，德国与受害者家属站在一起，并向遇难者致以哀悼。
Blaming Hamas for the conflict, Merz said Germany’s thoughts were with the victims of the October 2023 attacks, the survivors and former hostages. The country, he said, stands in solidarity with the victims’ families and mourns the dead.
关于安全与巴勒斯坦国问题，默茨强调：“我们致力于保障以色列的安全与生存。这是大屠杀带给我们的教训，也是德国身份认同的一部分。”所谓“大屠杀”即纳粹德国在二战期间系统性屠杀约600万犹太人的历史事件。
Security and Palestinian state“We stand for the security and existence of Israel. That is a lesson from the Shoah and part of German identity,” Merz said. The Shoah, the Hebrew term for the Holocaust, was the systematic murder of about 6 million Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II.
默茨再次呼吁通过政治手段解决以巴冲突，指出当前当务之急是为以色列人、巴勒斯坦人及其邻国创造一个能够和平安全生活的全新秩序。“德国政府致力于此目标，”他说道，“我们认为，唯有建立与以色列并存的巴勒斯坦国才能实现这一愿景。”
Merz renewed his call for a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying the task now is to lay the foundation for a new order in which Israelis, Palestinians and their neighbors can live in peace and security. “The German government is committed to this,” he said. “In our conviction, this goal is best achieved through the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.”
此外，默茨还警告称德国国内反犹主义现象日益严重且往往未受到有效遏制。他承诺政府将竭尽全力打击一切新旧形式的反犹主义。“犹太人理应在德国各地安心生活，犹太文化也应在社会中蓬勃发展，”他说道，“正因如此，我们将坚决打击各类反犹事件与袭击行为。”他还强调，无论在什么时刻，政府都将坚决抵制任何淡化或质疑以色列生存权利的行为。
Antisemitism in Germany Merz also warned of growing antisemitism in Germany that, he said, too often goes unchallenged. He pledged that the government would do everything in its power to fight antisemitism in all its new and old forms. “Jews must be able to live without fear throughout Germany. Jewish life must be able to continue to flourish in our society,” he said. “That is why we are acting with all determination against antisemitic incidents and attacks.”He said the government would oppose those who relativize or question Israel’s right to exist, not only on this anniversary, but every day.
