(2 Mar 2022) German Chancellor Olaf Scholz discussed the Russian-Ukrainian conflict with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Wednesday, as well as security concerns over a nuclearised Iran.
Scholz arrived in Israel Tuesday evening and will return to Germany later Wednesday in a visit - his first to Israel since becoming German leader - that was planned before the fighting erupted.
He toured Israel's Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem alongside Bennett and the two met for talks later in the day.
In a joint media briefing from Jerusalem, Scholz said his country will "stay firmly on Israel's side."
He said Israel's security was important, adding: "We have to prevent Iran from getting nuclear arms, that is important, that is a priority because it would be a huge threat to peace."
His visit comes as Russia's assault on Ukraine continued for a seventh day, and as Western countries responded.
