The German ambassador to Israel, Susanne Vassum-Rainer, tweeted that the visit aims to “strengthen our distinguished relationship.”
Merkel strengthened cooperation with Israel to make Germany Israel’s largest trading partner in Europe. On a visit in 2008 on the 60th anniversary of the declaration of the establishment of the State of Israel, Merkel delivered a speech in the Knesset in which she expressed her shame over the Holocaust.
