"A manifestation of Political Arrogance". German press not decisively about Israel's conflict with Iran

The German newspapers comment on the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran and how it can be resolved.


In the opinion of "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" the necessity of Israel's action will proceed to be the subject of dispute. "The government leadership of Iran planned to hand over atomic weapons to its shadow armies. From the outside it is impossible to measure whether it is true," states the commentator.

The public doesn't really know how far Iran has been technically on the road to creating a bomb. But this doesn't seem entirely ridiculous if we realize what a immense amount of conventional weapons Iran has already delivered to Hezbollah and another allies.

For this reason, Israel will only be satisfied with the complete elimination of the atomic option in Iran, or enrichment of uranium. Netanjahu's safety Advisor said that this goal cannot be achieved only militarily, but only by means of Trump diplomacy," we read.

"A manifestation of political arrogance"


"Everything points to a war in the mediate East erstwhile again," states the economical diary "Handelsblat". He adds, "It would be, next to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, another war that first of all shows 2 things: the permanent overload of the West, which faces a planet in chaos. Secondly, the vacuum left behind by the leading Western power—the United States—who, for Donald Trump's presidency, are incapable, and possibly even reluctant to lead a rational and strategical abroad policy."

Ultimately, only diplomacy and strategical foresight can aid make stableness in this region, which for decades has not given a remainder to planet diplomacy.

According to the commentator, creating a peace order in the mediate East with military means, as Netanyahu seemingly imagines, will not work. The same is actual of the Palestinian conflict. "The effort to end it utilizing military force, without political solution, is nothing but a manifestation of political arrogance".

Disaster for the region


"Süddeutsche Zeitung" comments: "If Netanjahu were solely afraid with a atomic bomb, he could hit Iran with any customs punches and then force him to return to the negotiating table. But it's not just about preventing a bomb from being built. It is besides about the overthrow of the full regime; it has already called on the Iranians to repel. Gas and oil retention facilities that have nothing to do with atomic weapons are being bombarded. The region without the ultimate Leader of Ali Chamenei and his inhuman, corrupt cliques request not necessarily be better. Just look at Libya and Iraq to see that it can always be worse. Iran plunged into anarchy and chaos would be a disaster for the region, but would not be a bad consequence for Netanjah at all".

According to the regional paper "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger" while Germany, France and the United Kingdom erstwhile negotiated an agreement with Iran whereby the country was to quit its controversial atomic programme in exchange for trade facilitation, now European powers play only a marginal role.

"It is only decisive what Israeli Prime Minister Beniamin Netanyahu will do – and whether he has the support of U.S. president Donald Trump" states the journal. He adds: "Like the erstwhile German government, he is besides present in fact deprived of influence. His representatives are like people in an overcrowded room. They may find opposition everywhere, especially as Israel's right to be remains the German state's right."
