Tino Chrupalla, co-chair of Germany's AfD party, attacked Israel, stating that its actions in Gaza and Lebanon are illegal and comparing them to Russia's war in Ukraine. Chrupalla also criticized former US President Donald Trump and distanced himself from the Austrian right's rapprochement with Likud. He acknowledged differing views within his party on the Middle East but emphasized that the party's commitment to protecting Jewish life in Germany does not contradict criticism of the Israeli government. According to him, a real fight against anti-Semitism requires a discussion about groups that immigrated to Germany and contributed to its rise. Additionally, Chrupalla attacked the German government for supplying weapons to Ukraine, accusing it of igniting war, and called for restoring the Nord Stream pipelines to purchase cheap energy from Russia while rejecting American demands.
