00:00Germany just sent a powerful message to the world, and it's all about strength, unity, and leadership.
00:06German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz called it a historic day, as the last surviving hostages were freed from Hamas, including four Germans.
00:14He praised the rare cooperation between Trump, Netanyahu, and regional leaders, but made no mention of Palestinian authorities.
00:22Mertz said the lesson is clear, political action matters, and now it's Europe's turn.
00:28He urged the EU to bring its power to bear, militarily, economically, and politically.
00:33Germany, he said, must lead.
00:35He backed stronger NATO defenses, more support for Ukraine, and using EUR-140 billion in frozen Russian assets to fund weapons.
00:44Mertz warned, peace can't exist without strength, not just military, but economic and strategic unity.
00:51His message to the EU?
00:53Act boldly, act together, or risk becoming irrelevant in a world shaped by power.
