Saarland Parliament Expresses Solidarity with Israel Amid Hamas Conflict

Lawmakers in Saarland unite to support Israel and the Jewish community, highlighting the importance of integration and security.

The Saarland parliament passed a resolution supporting Israel one year after a devastating attack by Hamas, which killed over 1,200 people in Israel.
The resolution, backed by both the SPD and CDU parties, emphasizes Israel's right to self-defense and condemns Hamas for using civilians as human shields.
Lawmakers stressed the need to protect Jewish life in Germany, citing concerns over rising antisemitism from various extremist groups.
The parliament also discussed the importance of successful integration for migrants, linking it to the acceptance of fundamental values such as religious freedom and Israel's right to exist.
In addition to the resolution, the parliament plans to implement a new law to enhance youth participation in political processes, with a budget of nearly 660,000 euros over four years.
