Germany’s development and foreign aid minister, Reem Alabali Radovan, departed on Monday , August 25th, for a three-day visit to Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, .

The israel Resource News Agency, operating out of the Nahum Bedein Center for Near East Policy Research, posed policy questions to the German embassy in Israel on the eve of Radovan’s visit to Israel:

*Will the planned Palestinian state abolish the Palestinian Charter, which mandates the destruction of Israel?

*Will the planned Palestinian state revoke the law that guarantees salaries to anyone who murders a Jew?

*Will the planned Palestinian state remove texts that glorify those who murder kill Jews?

*Will the planned Palestinian state eliminate educational materials that glorify the murder of Jews?

*In the maps of the planned Palestinian state, will the State of Israel appear alongside it?

*Will the planned Palestinian state cancel its motto of the “Right of Return through armed struggle”?

* Will the planned Palestinian state abide by the Palestine State Constitution based on Koranic Sharia Law

  •  Konstantin Klammert, press spokesman for Germany in Israel, responded to these questions with the following answer : “Germany continues to support a negotiated two-state solution as the only guarantee for lasting security, peace and dignity for both sides. Germany’s history entails a special responsibility towards Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, and for Israel’s security. At the same time, Germany recognises the right of the Palestinians to self-determination and their endeavours to gain their own state.

Since Germany’s embassy in Israel did not relate to the above seven policy questions, it remains to be seen whether visiting  German government minister Reem Alabali Radovan will relate to these questions.
