00:00The German Chancellor has once again defended his decision not to send weapons to Israel
00:07which can be used in Gaza.
00:09He said a friendship can and must withstand that.
00:12From your perspective, what has changed in this relationship?
00:15Look, I respect Friedrich Merz.
00:22I think he's been a good friend of Israel, but I think he's buckled under.
00:27He's still under the pressure of false TV reports, the pressure, internal pressure from various groups.
00:36And I can say this, and I don't want to talk about him specifically, but I want to say this.
00:42Look, maybe some choose to forget October 7th, we will not forget what happened.
00:48And we will do whatever it takes to defend our country and defend our people, defend our
00:52future.
00:53We will win the war, with or without the support of others, but I think that there's an issue
01:02here.
01:03And the issue is many leaders tell me, look, we know you're right, but we can't stand,
01:08you know, in the face of the public opinion in our country, especially European leaders.
01:13They tell me that over and over again.
01:16And I say, that is your problem.
01:19It is not our problem.
01:21It is not our problem.
01:24You know?
01:25In Munich, everybody celebrated Munich.
01:29Everybody celebrated the capitulation in Munich, the Munich Peace Conference, peace
01:34in our time.
01:35Okay?
01:36And everybody lambasted Churchill who opposed it.
01:39So what?
01:40The difference now is maybe they thought then that there was a real chance for peace by
01:45succumbing to these, to the Nazis.
01:47But I don't believe anybody seriously thinks that now.
01:50And we're facing neo-Nazis.
01:53You know, Chancellor Mertz's predecessor was here.
02:00Okay?
02:01And on the first or second day of the war, he was there on the first days of the war.
02:06And he told me, he said to me, they're exactly like the Nazis.
02:10And they are.
02:11And we're not going to leave.
02:13We're not going to leave the Nazi, the remainder of the Nazi army, you know, in the equivalent
02:20of Berlin.
02:21Don't go into Berlin and don't finish off the Nazi army, the German army.
02:26Of course not.
02:27I mean, that's what people are telling us to do.
02:29And I'm not going to do it.
02:30And the Israeli people are not going to do it.
02:32We're going to do it.
02:33And we have enough criticism within.
02:35But the majority of the people, if you really check it, the majority of the people say,
02:40that's a result we can't afford if we want to live here.
02:43So we're going to do what we need to do.
02:45And I hope that Chancellor Mertz changes his policy.
02:49And you know when he'll change his policy?
02:51For sure.
02:52When we win.
02:54You must.
02:55You must.
02:56You must.
02:57You must.
02:58You must.
