The German Chancellor, who is visiting Tel Aviv to show solidarity with Israel, said it was in “a visit to hard times”, Deutsche Welle reported.

Scholz noted that Germany's history and its role “in the beginnings of the Holocaust mean that it is our duty to rise to the existence of the state of Israel”.
He added: “We condemn blood-torn attacks by Hamas terrorists in the harshest terms. A brutal terror against innocent civilians, the execution of defenseless citizens, infanticide, the kidnapping of women, men and children, humiliation and presentation of Holocaust survivors -- we cool our blood”.
