"For the first time in a long while, there is a real prospect of peace in the region."

Chancellor Merz on first steps of the agreement between Israel and Hamas:
“The first steps of the agreement between Israel and Hamas are encouraging. “They offer new hope – for the hostages and their families, for the people in Gaza, and for the entire region. For the first time in a long while, there is a real prospect of peace in the region. “We call on all parties to keep their promises, end the war, and pave the way for lasting peace. Germany will continue to firmly support this process.” Chancellor Merz, 9 October 2025

I am glad about the breakthrough in the #Gaza negotiations. The agreement on the first phase means the release of hostages and a ceasefire are finally within reach. Germany stands ready to support the next steps towards peace.

The EU’s Entry/Exit system will gradually enter in force from 12 October.
It applies to short stay travellers from all third countries.
The system will make our borders more secure, which will benefit our partners, including the UK.

Two years on from the inhumane attack on Israel by Hamas, we stand with those who have lost loved ones or fear for them.
 
We call for a ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and a massive increase in aid for Gaza.
 
The 20 Point Plan offers hope to Israelis and Palestinians.

35 years ago, Germany received its greatest gift: reunification – less than a year after the Berlin Wall fell.

Thanks to the unshakeable will of East German people and our allies' support, Germany and Europe changed for the better.

Today is a day of joy, recollection and encouragement.

I am shocked and appalled to read of today's truly horrific incident at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish religious calendar.

My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.
