[Global Network Reporter Yan Peiyun] According to reports from Qatar's Al Jazeera, the Times of Israel and the Jerusalem Post on the 18th, a synagogue in Munich, Germany that was destroyed by the Nazis 87 years ago reopened on the 15th. German Chancellor Merz delivered a speech with tears and sobs at the ceremony that day, saying that his government would declare war on all forms of "anti-Semitism". Merz's words and deeds caused controversy in the Arab world.

In his speech, Murts said that he hoped that the Jews living in Germany would ¡°no longer need police protection¡± and that the government would use all possible and necessary legislative measures to combat all forms of ¡°anti-Semitism¡±, whether through political or legal means.

¡°Even if anti-Semitism is at the expense of freedom, art, culture, or science, we will not tolerate it,¡± he said, ¡°I declare war on the new and old anti-Semitism in all its forms, on behalf of the Federal Government of the Federal Republic of Germany.¡±

The Peninsula TV said Murts' remarks and tears have sparked controversy, especially in the Arab world.

On social media, some linked Murts¡¯ actions to Western ¡°double targets.¡± They said that some Western governments and media expressed deep sympathy for the historical tragedy that Jews suffered, while facing the continued bombing of Gaza, as well as the massive deaths and large-scale destruction caused by the bombing, they either remained silent, or excused, and even netizens called Murts¡¯ cry a ¡°exaggerated drama performance.¡±

In a speech in Berlin on the 17th, Martz said criticism of the Israeli government was ¡°completely feasible¡± but could not evolve into an excuse for hating Jews.

The European Commission said on Thursday that it had submitted to the Council of the European Union sanctions proposals against Israel, involving trade preferential suspension and personal sanctions. Reuters said that EU member states have not yet reached an agreement on the sanctions proposal, and largely depends on Germany's position, and Germany has so far been reluctant to punish Israel. A German government spokesman said on 17 that European countries have not yet reached a final opinion on the European Commission's proposal, and Germany hopes to keep its communication channels open with Israel.

According to data released by the Gaza Strip Health Department on 17 October, since the outbreak of a new round of conflict in October 2023, Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have killed 6,5062 Palestinians and wounded 1,65697 people.
