The German Chancellor was very pleased with these words. To the point that he even thanked the writer for summoning them. He then utilized it to describe his imagination of the situation in the mediate East.
"This is the dirty work Israel does for all of us. We are besides affected by this regime. This Mullah government brought death and demolition to the world," said Friedrich Merz.
"I can only express my highest respect for the Israeli army and its leaders for having the courage to do so. If not for their actions, we could witness the continued panic of this government for months and years, and then possibly with atomic weapons in hand," he added.
