Germany will continue to help Israel defend itself by supplying weapons, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Thursday, adding that Israel must abide by international law and that a two-state solution was the ultimate goal.
"For me, however, it is clear that supporting Israel also means that we are constantly ensuring Israel's defense capability, for example by supplying military goods or weapons," said Scholz on the sidelines of an EU leaders' summit.
