Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to visit Germany to commemorate 60 years of relations amid strained ties due to the Gaza war, with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier later visiting Israel to reinforce support and historic responsibility. The visit occurs in a context of rising anti-Semitism and political shifts in Germany, where the far-right has questioned Holocaust remembrance. As both nations navigate complex dynamics, including Israel’s military actions and humanitarian concerns in Gaza, the mood surrounding the anniversary reflects apprehension rather than celebration.
