 anti-Semitism, and we are working on a daily basis on all levels to make our ties stronger in the spirit of both of our vibrant democracies. The relations between Germany and Israel are unique. Every visit of an Israeli official to Germany holds a symbolic significance based on the history of our peoples, and our commitment, the idea represented by the first, never again. Before elaborating more about the issues of the meeting, I want to take a moment to speak about the loss of three young innocent souls this week in terror attack in Israel. Ilel Menachem and Yagel Yaakov, two brothers, shot to death in the middle of the road by Palestinian terrorists, and only yesterday another terrible act of terror causing the death of Ilan Ganas, an Israeli-American citizen, made the arrest in peace. A country with a strong commitment to the role of law, we condemn violence and do everything in our power to avoid it. However, we cannot ignore the hypocrisy we see when faced with barbaric acts such as the ones we experienced this week. It is clear that this violence will only come to an end when the Palestinian takes decisive actions to stop it. Madam Minister, I argue to use your influence to encourage the Palestinian leaders to take actions. Specifically, I ask you to call upon them to seize payment terrorists and to put an end to their incitement. Actually, the Palestinian Authority is paying salaries and pensions to those who are killing Jewish people. And the other side, Israel is a state of law and order. In Israel, if anyone will kill another one, whether he's a Muslim, Christians or Jewish, it definitely will go to jail. This is not what happened right now in the Palestinian Authority. During our conversation today, Foreign Minister Berberk and I have discussed the mutual challenges we face and the ways in which we can cooperate to find solutions together. Two weeks ago, I visited Kiev. I was the first minister from Israel to travel Kiev, but also the first minister from the Middle East who come and visited Kiev. It was an emotional visit for me. This visit demonstrate the clear Israel position on standing with Ukraine and with the people of Ukraine as we did it from day one. During the visit, I met President Zelensky. We express our support, our solidarity with the Ukraine people. I update President Zelensky that we will support his peace program and the UN resolution that took place in the previous week. I also update him that we will increase our humanitarian health dramatically and of course our position of supporting the territorial and the integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine. More than this, we update President Zelensky that we will provide an alert system that will save life of Ukraine people. The fingerprints of Iran state terrorism can be seen in the case of Ukraine. The Iranian regime is no longer just a regional problem, but also a problem to Europe and to the world as one. The only way to put a stop to the Iranian nuclear race is through diplomatic and economic pressure. The international community cannot ever accept a nuclear Iran and must force Iranian to return to the full compliance with the international law and the IAEA. This is the time when I speak in front of Europe and particularly in front of Germany. This is the time to take steps. This is the time to do actions to prevent Iran to achieve a nuclear weapon. I also ask Madam Minister to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Scope as a terror organization in Germany and extend the designation to the entire Europe. Iran, it's like cancer. She finds the Hamas, the Jihad, the Hezbollah. We also aware that a few days ago the anti-Semitic Iranian regime imposed sanctions on German Jewish leaders and local organization. We all know what signal our Jews in all about and Israelis and German needs to fight this together. Israel today is the only country which is a member in the U.N. that another country is calling for her destruction, not calling for our destruction just but also doing everything that she can in order to achieve a nuclear weapon. Germany as a European and the world power should convey a clear message. Only strong actions will have strong result and this is the time to make a strong action. The war in Ukraine brought few challenges to Europe in regards to energy and in regards to security. Israel is an important player in these two fields, in the energy and in the advanced defense system and we are willing to share our know-how, our capabilities with our friends and Germany as one of our best friends. Israel and Germany have a lot more to expand in our bilateral agenda. We would be glad to keep promoting youth exchange between our two peoples and we have invited Germany to make more dominate role in the Abraham Accords in different projects. Actually the Abraham Accords is the most dramatic change in our region for the last two decades. The agreement that we signed with Morocco, Bahrain and the UAE, increased the stability in our region, brought prosperity to the people that involved in this agreement and I spoke with my colleague to be part in this important peace process which I believe that there is a possibility to add two or three more countries in the coming year to the Abraham Accords. Thank you Minister Behrberg for your hospitality and for the profound discussion we have had today. The relations between our two countries will always remain close and strong based on shared value and strategic partnership for many more years to come. Dankeschön. Thank you Minister. We will have time for four questions. The first comes from Dovgil Harform, KEN. Hello everybody. I'm Natasha Kirchak and we are now on the I-24 News Desk. That was, is really Foreign Minister Eli Cohen that you just heard. He landed in Germany today for talks with his German counterpart, Anna Lena Behrberg about preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. Now we have our correspondent in-studio Piaz Stechelbach to kind of break down what we heard there. It was interesting. We actually heard the German Foreign Minister condemn Israel's plan or plans to approve the death penalty for terrorists, obviously that has not been approved yet. This is a policy that is going through multiple readings and many say it's highly unlikely to pass. But why do you think she felt the need to make that statement during this speech? First of all, Natasha, because tomorrow we'll have another reading on that proposed law in the Israeli parliament in the Knesset, but also because this is highly irreconcilable with democratic values. I'm a bit surprised that she didn't have more words on the new far-right Israeli government that she picked out that one element to talk about, but that for sure is the most outstanding, the most outstanding and most controversial law that this new government has proposed for sure. And she made a very interesting comparison or allegation to history. She was talking about Adolf Eichmann, which was an SS Nazi official. He was participating in, and he was one of the architects of the so-called Final Solution, the extermination of Jews at Nazi times, and he was executed after he was on trial in Jerusalem. He was captured in Argentina in 1962. He was executed after Israelis put him on trial, and she was making that allegation that this was the only time that Israel has used the death penalty, and now we should not go back to using that death penalty because Germany is an advocate of abandoning the death penalty in countries around the world, and that's why it was so important for her to also appeal to Israel to not go on with that proposed law for people who Israel dubs as terrorists. Yes, but what I also thought was interesting is that they both talked quite a lot about Iran not letting Iran achieve a nuclear weapon was a sentence that they both reiterated. This is the sentence that we've heard before. We knew that one of the main topic of discussion would be Iran and its nuclear capacities. Cohen has requested Germany to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization. What can we expect out of Germany on that front, especially since we didn't hear the German Foreign Minister mention that? Yes, and I'm a bit surprised that she did not because this must have been one of the major requests by Cohen. Germany would not do that move unilaterally. Germany would not only declare the IRGC as a terrorist organization in Germany because this would always have to come within the European Union framework. Germany is one of the major plays in the European Union, and we have heard only in January that Joseph Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, has said that it cannot be designated as such without the European Court ruling on that issue. But there is major pressure not only coming from Israel, but also we've seen demonstrations in major European cities to already designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, because especially after these months of anti-government protest and after the harsh reaction from the Iranian regime, there should not be more evidence needed to declare them as a terrorist organization. Now, a very sensitive issue for Germany right now is that a German-Iranian citizen has, or is on death row right now in Iran, and there are a lot of diplomatic efforts ongoing right now to release this person. He has been an Iranian custody for two years now. He was sentenced to death a couple of days ago. So I can imagine that this is why she did not talk more about that specific issue in that press conference, because this is a very sensitive point in time because of that Iranian-German. Now, you know, having listened and translated both of these speeches, was there anything that stood out to you specifically in terms of these talks, something that you didn't expect? Well, Eli Korn spoke quite a lot about his visit to Ukraine, which of course is interesting for a German audience. Because of the geographical proximity, Germany feels very much affected by that war in Europe. What was also interesting is that Annalena Bebach spoke a lot and she basically started and ended her presser with that about German-Israeli cooperation on a people-to-people level. She spoke a lot about partnership, about friendship, about that long history. Eli Korn also touched upon that, but he focused also on the Abraham Accords, on Israel as new friendships and new partnerships with the countries in the region while it was more of a focus and it took more time of Annalena Bebach's presser, you know, that cooperation, that friendship between specifically the people of Israel and Germany. All right, well, you know, I'd like to thank you for sitting in studio translating the German Foreign Minister's speech and kind of giving us that breakdown, that summary. We are for a quick break, my friends, but when we get back, we have a lot coming up. Trust me, you're not going to want to miss it. This is the I-24 News Desk, live from Tel Aviv. We'll see you soon.

Now, manhunts are continuing for a number of terrorists who killed three Israelis in shooting attacks over the last few days. Israel is reeling from the latest murder just last night. That of dual Israeli-American citizen, Ilan Ganenez. The 27-year-old was shot to death while driving near the West Bank city of Jericho by multiple Palestinian gunmen. And his murder comes after Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villages in the West Bank on Sunday night following the killing of two more Israeli civilians that very same day. Now, Ganenez is the 14th Israeli to be killed in a string of Palestinian terror attacks since the start of this year alone, 13 of whom were civilians. An estimated 63 Palestinians have been killed as well, including gunmen and civilians by Israeli forces. Now, our defense correspondent, Jonathan Rega, filed this report today from the ground. Jericho, it used to be the quietest, calmest city in the West Bank, a far cry from the terror hubs of Nablus and Jenin, and under the strong control of the Palestinian Authority, but not anymore. It becomes very confusing, because you don't know when it's going to be, when it's going to happen again. And even the Arabs that are working here are confused, because it makes them a lot of problem getting out from their house to work. The terror attack, which killed 27-year-old Ilan Genelis on Monday evening, is very distressing for Israel, but far from surprising. Hamas is not even hiding the fact it now has strong support and plenty of militants in Jericho and the surrounding refugee camps. The residents here understand that the relative peace they enjoyed is now gone. It's a horrible feeling. The kids here are experiencing...
