In yesterday’s edition of Al-Ayyam, I spoke about Germany’s enduring partnership with the Palestinian people, our humanitarian commitment to Gaza, and why a negotiated two-state solution remains our compass.

Full solidarity with our 🇧🇪 🇫🇷 and 🇵🇱 diplomatic colleagues who where attacked by masked Israeli settlers on their way to Christian village of Taybeh in support of 🇵🇸 olive harvest. Violent settlers must be stopped and brought to justice.

🇵🇸🤝🇩🇪 State Secretary Géza von Geyr visited wastewater treatment plant in Nablus, supported by 🇩🇪. Reliable infrastructure essential for Palestinian communities. Yet rampant settler violence in the area is deeply concerning. Both Palestinians & Israelis deserve to live in peace.
The day after the postponement of 🇵🇸 elections, 🇩🇪 State Secretary Géza von Geyr and 🇵🇸 VP Hussein al-Sheikh discussed next steps of PA reform, future role of PA & elections which should take place soon. Germany remains the biggest donor for Palestinians.
Marking 140 years of Schmidt’s Girls School in East Jerusalem! Delighted to have addressed yesterday’s ceremony celebrating generations of young women empowered through German education. Mabruk!
Honoured to celebrate German Unity Day yesterday in Ramallah with Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian. Germany cares about Palestine and Palestinian people. We must overcome divisions, Occupation must end, challas, enough. 🇩🇪🤝🇵🇸
Chancellor Merz: "Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 marks a profound turning point. We commemorate the victims; we share their pain.
We must stand up to anti-Semitism with even greater determination. Jewish people should be able to live in Germany without fear."

Democracy is never guaranteed; it must be protected every day. Germany experienced this first-hand: from dictatorship, war and division to peaceful reunification through free elections in 1990.
Divided by history. United by choice. #TagDerDeutschenEinheit
Shocking and painful news from Jalud. A Palestinian village vandalized and homes set ablaze by more than 100 settlers. Families deserve safety, dignity, and a home - not violence and fear. Israeli authorities must protect civilians and ensure justice.
Celebrating 175 years of Talitha Kumi in Beit Jala! Here, tolerance is no abstract concept, but lived daily life for Christian & Muslim youth side by side. Truly proud to present the “Excellent German School Abroad” seal today. Mabruk to the entire community!
From strong women to innovative Palestinian designers: Palestine Design Week is full of examples of Palestinian creativity and resilience. Warm congratulations to our friends at the Goethe-Institut and their partners for bringing this fantastic project to life—make sure to visit!
Grateful for attending Holy Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre celebrated by Cardinal Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, and Cardinal Woelki, Archbishop of Cologne. A truly special moment of shared prayer for peace in the Holy Land.

الإثنين ٢٤ آب ٢٠٢٦، بدأ الكاردينال راينر فليكي، رئيس أساقفة كولون في ألمانيا، زيارته التضامنية إلى الأرض المقدسة والتي تستمر لثلاث أيام، حيث شملت محطته الاولى رفيديا، نابلس، عابود وعين عريك، وخلال الزيارة، زار عدداً من مدارس وروضات البطريركية اللاتينية، إضافةً إلى مركز الشبيبة، كما التقى أبناء الرعايا واطّلع على أوضاعهم، مؤكداً قرب الكنيسة في ألمانيا وتضامنها مع المسيحيين في الأرض المقدسة، ولا سيما في ظل الظروف الصعبة التي يعيشونها.
On Monday, August 24, 2026, Cardinal Rainer Woelki, Archbishop of Cologne, Germany, began his solidarity visit to the Holy Land, with his first stops in Rafidia, Nablus, Aboud, and Ain Arik. During the visit, he visited several schools and kindergartens of the Latin Patriarchate, as well as the Youth Center. He also met with parishioners and learned more about their situation, reaffirming the closeness and solidarity of the Church in Germany with Christians in the Holy Land, particularly amid the difficult circumstances they are facing.
Yesterday I accompanied Cardinal Wölki, Archbishop of Cologne, visiting Christian communities in the West Bank. Their role in healthcare, education and living the Christian faith is essential. Christians must be safeguarded against settler violence and discrimination.
